Can I cancel one of my employees paychecks after running payroll?

Good day, pshavor.

Thanks for dropping by here in the Community. I can share some information about canceling a submitted payroll in QuickBooks Online.

QuickBooks may allow you to void or delete a paycheck depending on the processing time and payroll subscription. QBO has two options in deleting/canceling a check:

• Delete a paycheck: This removes the transaction from your payroll. You can do this if the paycheck hasn't been processed yet.
• Void a paycheck: This changes your paycheck records and updates the paycheck dollar amount to zero. You may need to make adjustments to balance your books. This does not stop a direct deposit from processing and does not return funds to you.

Please open this article, and follow the steps to delete a paycheck: Delete or void employee paychecks.

If you're using Direct Deposit, you will need to delete the transactions before 5 PM, two banking days before the check date. Otherwise, we will not be able to stop the transactions from posting to the employee's accounts. This article will provide you how to find or update your direct deposit funding time in QuickBooks: View or change your direct deposit funding time.

I'll be right here to help in case you have additional inquiries in managing your paychecks.
