I have an overdue payroll reminder from 2018 that is still poping up, how do I get rid of it?

Hi @asollers,

 

I can think of several reasons as to why a scheduled payroll liability back from 2018 is showing up as overdue. 

 

One of them is that this liability hasn't been paid. To confirm this, you can run the Payroll Liability Balances report.

 

Here's how:

  1. Go to the Reports menu.
  2. Highlight Employees & Payroll, then select Payroll Liability Balances.
  3. Edit the date range as necessary.

 If you have unpaid liabilities, create a liability payment.

 

Another possibility is, this liability was paid but wasn't recorded in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). If this is the case, you can follow the steps on the same link I provided above. 

 

Other possible situations as to why you see these reminders and how to deal with them are found in this article: Scheduled liabilities payroll show as overdue or in red.

 

Leave a comment below if you have additional queries. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

I have one disabled employee who comes to clean the church for an hour each week, but due to Corona she has not been here this pay period.  I marked her as inactive for the time being.  How do I get rid of the overdue payroll reminder to pay her?

Hello, ES2020. Welcome to the Community!
 

I'll help you get rid of the notice you're referring to. You can make the overdue payroll reminder go away by changing the payroll schedule. Here's how:
1. In the menu bar at the top, go to Employees, then choose Payroll Center in the drop-down list that displays.
2. Open the Pay Employees tab and choose the payroll schedule you want to make changes to.
3. Click on the drop-down arrow in the Payroll Schedules area and select Edit Schedule.
4. Enter the new dates in the My next check date is and for the next pay period end date on sections.
Edit Payroll Schedule window
5. Hit Ok to finish.
 

After updating the payroll schedule, you'll no longer see an overdue notification for this employee in QuickBooks.
 

Here's an extensive article that provides further information about managing payroll schedules: Set up and manage payroll schedules
