I have an Employee who needed a draw before payday, months ago, so i gave him a $100 draw on a paper check. Then at payday gave him another check to make up the difference in pay. How do I record and connect the transactions to the original payday. It is throwing my books off, with the double debit from my business checking. Thank You

Hello travel247365,

 

We can create another check under the same pay period. This'll keep you align with your checking account. Here's how to create another check:

  1. Select Workers on the left menu and go to the Employees tab.
  2. Click Run payroll and select the pay schedule for the payroll you want to create.
  3. Select Continue and enter the correct Pay period and Pay date.
  4. Mark the employee and click Create another check for (employee name).
  5. Enter the necessary payroll details and click Preview payroll.
  6. Select Submit payroll.

    Hi I am using Desktop 2017 and I have the payroll service, but I am not using ON-Line and these instructions seem to be different and I can't get it to work.

    My employee can deposit $500 of her paycheck electronically on the date of the check, for example this Sunday, and she needs those funds available before banking on Monday. 

         So, she is asking me to split her paycheck into 2 different checks, one for $500 on the same date a second check for the remainder.  I am handwriting my checks (I only have 2 employees)

    Can you help, I can't find info on this after searching for 2 hours, thanks.

    Thank You so much   I tried but had little success as my payroll transaction took place on May 13th 2019 and the system goes back to 7/23/2019   (I must admit I am finishing my first year of attempting QBO. I am a small time General Contractor with a couple of employees trying to do it all! Draw up custom homes, Build them, and do all the bookkeeping "thank you QBO"  I am just on a learning curve at the moment   Thank You so much for the help .
