I need to change the pay period so checks are direct deposited friday. System pushed them out a week?

Good morning, @eric41.

I'm here to help you change the pay period in QuickBooks Desktop.

Let's begin:

1. Go to the Employees menu, then Payroll Center.
2. Under the Create Paychecks table, select the payroll schedule you want to update.
3. From the Payroll Schedules drop-down, press Edit Schedule.
4. Make the necessary updates in the Edit Payroll Schedule window.
   • Note: When you see the warning, choose Yes to update the payroll schedule for all the employees assigned to it.
5. Hit OK.

That's all there's to it! If you're needing to edit the paycheck date, here's a Community Article that walks you through the process: Change or edit paycheck date.

Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with today. Have a beautiful day.
