Hi there, @SteveR12.

Let me help you change the status of your employee in QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll. This way, we can make sure that your records are accurate. 

 

First, create and give your employee their final paycheck. Once done, go into your payroll system and update their employment status. Here's how:
 

  1. Go to the Payroll menu and select the Employees tab.
  2. Click All employees from the Active Employees drop-down menu.
  3. Look for the employee and select Terminated from the Status drop-down.terminate.PNG
  4. Select Done.

 

In addition, you can run several payroll reports in QBO Payroll. You can use them to view useful information about your business and employees.
