Add a missing payroll check

I can share how to add a missing payroll check, @Claudia140.

We can recreate the missing direct deposit paycheck with zero dollar net pay in QuickBooks. We need to do this because the total amount of that payroll direct deposit should reflect the direct deposit liability review. This is done to balance your check register and remove duplicate entries.

Here's how:

1. Create a Direct Deposit Offset (DD Offset) payroll item.
2. Choose Employees and select Pay Employees.
3. Input the check date and pay period to match the voided paycheck.
4. Place a checkmark next to the affected employee(s) and select the Open Paycheck Detail button.
5. In the Preview Paycheck window, clear the Use Direct Deposit checkbox.
6. Recreate the check as it was before by entering hours, salary, and/or other payroll items.
7. Enter the DD Offset payroll item (created in step 1) in the Other Payroll Items section.
8. Input an amount for the DD Offset item equal to the net amount of the paycheck (the amount for the DD Offset should be a negative number).
9. Click Tab to cause the net amount of the paycheck to change to 0.
10. Choose Save & Close.
11. Click Continue and select Create Paychecks to record the check.

I've attached some articles in case you want to know when to submit direct deposit payroll on time. These links will serve as a guide on how federal holidays and non-banking days affect your payroll.
