Since you haven't sent your payroll to us yet, you can delete your paychecks and update your pay schedule to ensure accurate employee payments, Denisem2. Let's go to the Payroll section to address this.

 

For manual paychecks, you can delete and recreate them to resolve this matter. To do so, please follow the steps below:

 

  1. Open your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.
  2. Go to Payroll, then Employees.
  3. Select the employee whose paycheck you would like to edit.
  4. On the employee profile, navigate to the Paycheck list.
  5. Choose the paycheck you want to edit, then click the dropdown button in the Action column.
  6. Select Delete, then Yes.

 

 

Once done, recreate the paycheck with the correct pay date.

 

If you've used direct deposit for this paycheck, I recommend contacting our payroll support team. They have the necessary tools and expertise to help update this information.

 

Meanwhile, since you've mentioned that your pay schedule is incorrect, you can update it to the correct one to ensure timely and accurate employee payment. For detailed steps, please visit this article: Set up, assign, and update a pay schedule.
