Good day, @kelper62.
You have me to help you pay an employee in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
When running an unscheduled payroll, you can manually select the pay period and enter the employee's earnings. Just a heads up, we can only create unscheduled checks for the current pay period.
Let me guide you with these steps:
- From the Payroll tab, select Employees.
- Click the Run payroll button.
- Locate the employee and then select the Create another check link.
- Enter the employee's compensation.
- Confirm the Pay Period and Pay date.
- Tap Preview Payroll, and then select Submit payroll.
- Click Finish payroll.
I've also added these references for more information about payroll:
Once you're done, I'd recommend pulling up the Payroll Details or Paycheck History report. This will help you verify that the unscheduled paychecks you've created are recorded accordingly.
Also, I'm adding this article to see the complete list of available payroll reports in QBO: Run payroll reports. It also includes details about customizing, printing, and marking your payroll reports as your favorites.
I'll be right here if you have other payroll concerns in QBO. You can leave a reply to this thread, and I'll gladly help.
If you have any follow-up questions, just let me know by leaving a comment below. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
