Can I verify how to turn on/off auto payroll?

Hello there. Welcome to the Community.

Let's go to the Payroll Settings page so you can manage the auto payroll feature in QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP).

With Auto Payroll, QuickBooks will create your paychecks automatically. To use this feature, you need to have completed your payroll setup and run your first payroll. Then, turn it on by following these steps:

1. Sign in to QuickBooks Online as the Primary Admin.
2. Select Settings ⚙, then Payroll Settings.
3. In the Auto Payroll box, select the Edit ✎ icon.
4. Select Manage Auto Payroll.
5. Choose the employees you wish to pay on Auto Payroll. You'll only be able to select eligible employees.
6. Select Save Changes.
7. Review the confirmation display for the total number of employees and important dates related to your Auto Payroll processing.
8. Select Done.

Once your employees are enrolled, two business days before Auto Payroll processes your payroll checks, we email you the details and timing for your upcoming payday. You can learn more about how to set up and schedule your payroll to run automatically with QBO Payroll Core, Premium, or Elite by checking out this article: Set up Auto Payroll to pay your employees in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

Then, if you'd like to make temporary or permanent changes (for example, a one-time change to an employee's payroll info and turn off Auto Payroll) to your Auto Payroll in QBOP, please see this article for the complete guide: Manage your Auto Payroll.

Also, you can run, print, and customize payroll reports to get a closer look at your business' finances in QBOP. You may want to check out this article as your reference to guide you with the process: Run payroll reports in QuickBooks Online Payroll.
