Thanks for getting back, @fds.

 

Yes, you're correct. Just change the pay period ends and the check date with the information you've mentioned above.

 

For more information about changing the paycheck date, check out the following article. It contains detailed steps and screenshots for visual reference (scroll down to Create paychecks in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll):

If you use a payroll schedule, edit it and change the next pay dates to the correct dates.

 

If you don't, there really isn't anything to do.  When you next create a payroll, watch the pay period and pay dates carefully as they may want to default to the payroll you skipped.

Yes, you are free to skip a payroll if you don't have anyone to pay...

Thanks for the info. I couldn't find the first option so I think it would be easier once I issue payroll for November on December 1, 2019, I just choose November dates for payroll. The pay employee tab keeps having exclamation mark saying Status Overdue under create paychecks so I can just ignore that for now?

Let me join the conversation, @fds.

 

I agree with BRC. Since you're not paying anyone with that payroll schedule, you can ignore the overdue status.


When creating the next paycheck, please don't forget to edit the pay dates. I'm adding this article for reference: Create paychecks.

So in order to change the pay date when I enter the payroll information all I have to do is change the pay period ends to 11/30/2019 and the check date to 12/01/2019 and it should be fine right?

ok i Just did what you did. I think I might have created another paystub a few days ago how do I delete it. I did it halfway and didn't realize it but I never submitted it to intuit to process direct deposit except for this one transaction today.
When I click on the exclamation mark it says I have a paycheck dated 12/2/2019 which is on or after the new Check Date of 11/29/2019. More nfo you might have unintentionally created an extra payheck for this employee.

I checked the paystub stub for the payroll issued today  it is correct pay period and pay date

It's great to hear from you again, @fds,

 

If you accidentally run payroll and want to delete it from your books, open the employee transaction list. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Employees menu and pick Employee Center.
  2. Tap the Transactions tab and pick Paychecks.
  3. Double-click the item you want to delete.
  4. Hit the Delete button at the top of the paycheck.

Overdue payroll notices in the Payroll Center also comes up when the schedule is incorrect or past dated. Follow the steps below to edit your pay run:

 

  1. Click the Employees menu at the top.
  2. Choose Payroll Center.
  3. In the Pay Employees tab, highlight the specific payroll schedule.
  4. Click the Payroll Schedules drop-down and choose Edit Schedule.

  5. Update the dates of your pay period end date and paycheck date to the future date.
  6. Click OK.
