Unrecoverable error when clicking on "start unscheduled payroll"

When clicking on "start unscheduled payroll" a pop-up appears about the new overtime tracking, when I go through the screens, I receive an "unrecoverable error".  This has happened for other users too.

Unrecoverable error when clicking on "start unscheduled payroll"

Hi there, flowerlover.

 

An unrecoverable error in QuickBooks Desktop often happens due to a damaged component or corrupted data.

 

Here are some steps to help fix these errors:

 

Let's start by ensuring that QuickBooks is updated to its latest release. Keeping your software up to date can fix known issues and improve performance.

 

Additionally, ensure to download the latest payroll tax table update. This ensures accuracy when calculating taxes and helps prevent potential errors in payroll processing. Regular updates are a simple yet essential step to keep your software running smoothly and error-free.

 

I'm also sharing these resources that contain information about common reasons and resolving unrecoverable errors:

 

 

Feel free to leave any additional questions in the comments, and we'll be happy to help.

Hello flowerlover,

 

I just want to share that you can also consider switching to Single-user Mode before processing payroll to prevent any unrecoverable errors. You can do this by navigating to the File menu and selecting Switch to Single-user Mode.

Let me know how this works for you.
