Can you process one payroll with 2 period end dates? Eg. for some, the Jan 30 chk will be for the pd ending Jan 30th and others for work done between Jan 1-16.

Hi there, @judith-darling.

Good to see you back here in the Community. I can provide details about running payroll in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Currently, the option to process one payroll with two period end dates is unavailable. You can only select one Pay period per payroll.

Here's how:

1. In QBO, go to the Payroll menu at the left pane.
2. Select Run payroll.
3. Choose a pay schedule, then Continue.
4. Pick the employees you want to pay.
5. Verify if you have selected the correct bank account, pay period, and pay date.
6. Change employee's pay method as needed.
7. Enter hours worked if applicable.
8. Click Preview Payroll.
9. Once ready, hit Submit payroll.
10. You're all set! To print paychecks, select Print paychecks, then Finish payroll.

You can learn more about the process by visiting this article: Process or run payroll.

I can see how having the option to select two pay periods when running payroll would be helpful for you and your business. I suggest sending feedback directly to our product developers. They're always looking for ideas to consider on how to improve QBO.

Here's how to submit feedback:

1. In QBO, click the Gear icon at the top right.
2. Select Feedback.
3. Enter your comments or product suggestions. Then select Next to submit feedback.

You can track feature requests through the QuickBooks Online Feature Requests link.
