I see you want to run an unscheduled payroll in QuickBooks Online, heimann. I'm here to share some tips and workarounds so you can have this done in no time.

 

Currently, the option to set up unscheduled payroll is unavailable in QBO UK. For QBO Standard Payroll, you can only do regular payroll. Learn more about moving employees between pay schedules in this module: Multiple Pay Schedules in QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll.

 

If you're using Advanced Payroll, you'll want to create a new pay schedule instead. Simply go to the Payroll page and select the New Pay Run option. Fill in the following information in the Create New Pay Run box:

 

  1. Pay Schedule 
  2. Pay Period Ending
  3. The date pay run will be paid
  4. Manually add employees to pay run
  5. Create pay run with empty pays 

 

Browse this for the detailed steps: Create a New Pay Run on QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll.

 

If you're good and you want to manage employees, see this guide: Edit employees in QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll.

 

Keep in touch if you have more questions about payroll or QuickBooks. We're here to back you up. Take care and stay healthy!
