Question

Adjust Hours on Employee Paycheck and Updating Payroll

I saw your answer to @judith4  on November 2, 2022 when she asked about correcting hours after payroll was submitted.  I have a similar situation. And I really need an answer ASAP if possible. 

 I use Desktop Pro with Enhanced Payroll and we issue DD payment using our bank account.  After creating payroll in QB I initiated DD through our bank online portal.  A few hours later I realized that a few employees were under payed -- 8 hours missing from their pay.  So I need to go back in and add those hours. 
Question:  Can I EDIT OR VOID just those paychecks and re-run payroll for that same period? 

Or, should I VOID all the paychecks and re-run payroll?     

We manually pay our payroll taxes (I have not done that yet) and we manually issue DD from our bank account.  I would just send a second DD for the missing money to those employees who were shorted.
Thank you for your help!

Hi there, @mmplus.

 

I'm here to help share insights about the direct deposit processing for employees' payroll in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Direct deposit payroll requires a certain number of days of submission for timely processing. Kindly read and use this article to learn more about direct deposit payroll processing: When to Send your Payroll to Pay your Employees on Time?.

 

Saying you've already submitted the direct deposit with the incorrect number of hours worked, we are no longer able to perform any changes to the payroll transaction in question assuming your account is working with 2 days payroll lead time.

 

Therefore, it's best not to void any of the paychecks already submitted. And then, manually send in the other payroll showing the rest of the hours worked for your employees within the period.

 

Here's an article you can read to learn more about creating a paycheck: Create and Run Payroll in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

I'm also adding these references for us to understand what comes with the latest payroll tax table you're about to be working with:
