Hello, @klozier.
Let me help you delete an employee in QuickBooks Payroll.
Here’s how.
- Go to the Payroll menu.
- Select the Employees tab.
- Select the employee's name. If the employee isn't on the list, select All employees from the Active Employees dropdown.
- Select Edit Employee.
- Select Delete employee.
- Select Yes to confirm the deletion.
Please know if you already created a paycheck to an employee, it cannot be deleted. You can only make it inactive.
In case you want to delete a whole pay run, check out this article, Deleting a pay run in QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll. You can use this article as your guide when deleting a payroll.
Feel free to fill me in if you have any other questions. Keep safe.
