Hello there. I understand the importance to get your employees paid. I'm here to guide you on how you can pay your former employees.
If the former employee is already marked terminated on your account, you'll need to un-terminate them or make them active again, remove the termination date, and order to create that final paycheck. I'll show you how.
- Click the Payroll menu in the left navigation bar and choose Employees.
- From the Active Employees drop-down, select Inactive Employees.
- Double-click the employee's name.
- Beside the Employment, click the pencil icon to edit.
- Change the Status from Terminated to Active.
- Then select Done to save changes.
In reference, you can refer to this article: Terminate or change your employee's status on the payroll.
Once done, you're ready to proceed with paying your employee. You can refer to this article for detailed steps: Create final paychecks for terminated employees. This also includes further guidance in understanding the final paycheck guidelines.
Moreover, you can also seek further advice from your accountant to secure the accuracy of your books. For they know what's best for your business.
