Can you modify the pay period dates on a scheduled payroll?We pay employees one a month. Time sheets go from Sun - Sat. and the paid date changes every month.

Thanks for joining the Community forum and sharing the details of your concern about modifying your pay period dates on a scheduled payroll in QuickBooks Online. Worry not. I'll impart insight and guidelines to help you.

In QBO, you can only update future pay schedules. Here's how:

1. Go to Payroll, then Employees.
2. Choose your employee.
3. From Employment details, select Start or Edit.
4. From the Pay Schedule ▼ dropdown, select the pay schedule for the employee moving forward. Or, to create a new pay schedule, choose + Add pay schedule.
5. Fill out the appropriate fields. Then select Save.
6. Click Save.

For detailed information, refer to this article: Set up and manage payroll schedules.

However, if you are trying to update the date on a previously run payroll, you can delete and recreate it instead. If you can't delete it, I recommend contacting our payroll expert.

I'm adding these articles you can use in the future:

• Add pay history to QuickBooks Online Payroll.
• Set up your company payroll for direct deposit.

After following these steps, you can modify the pay period dates on a scheduled payroll. If you have more questions about your pay periods in QuickBooks Online, post them here in the Community forum. I'll be sure to answer them ASAP! Have a great day!
