Question

How can I remove pay categories that we no longer require?

We have a huge number of pay categories that we no longer require. I don't have the option to remove them as it says they have been used this year. Some of these are categories that we haven't used for several years (i.e Furlough Pay). Is there a way to remove them or make them inactive when they are no longer relevant?

Hello Lsnap

 

Thanks for posting on the Community. Are you using the Standard or the Advanced version of QuickBooks Online Payroll?

Thanks for confirming, Lsnap.

 

To remove pay categories in QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll, select the small red cross to the right of the pay category (from Payroll > Payroll Settings > Pay Categories). If the cross appears greyed, this means it can't be removed as it's a default category or it has been used on the payroll.
