Can I do a manual payroll for an employee who was not covered by the auto payroll?

Yes, accounts583. You can still do a manual payroll. I'd be delighted to provide the step-by-step process.

QuickBooks Online Payroll allows employers to pay employees not enrolled in the Auto Payroll feature. Here's how:

1. Go to the Payroll menu and then select Employees.
2. Choose Run payroll.
3. Select the employees you wish to pay manually.
4. Enter the date and pay schedule, and edit any pay items for this payroll.
5. Select Preview payroll and then Submit payroll.

Finally, you can run, print, and customize several payroll reports in your QuickBooks account. It'll help you view and manage your employee info, wages, taxes, and deductions and ensure your record is accurate.

I always want to ensure all your payroll queries and concerns will be resolved. If you have any other issues with paying employees, please don't hesitate to get back on this thread.
