Canceling an unscheduled payroll

QBDT+ 2023 / Enhanced Payroll

 

I started an unscheduled payroll thinking that I could pay a "former" employee a flat amount for working a trade show for us. However, since the employee was a salaried employee, I can't pay ONLY the flat amount without first deleting the salary total in the employee profile. I'm not sure of the impact of deleting that pay code or the related PTO Salaried, Holiday, etc. So it appears easiest to leave all that has is and create a "1099 vendor" record and pay the amount that way. We have discontinued health benefits and PTO data.

 

 So the question is ... I left the Unscheduled Payroll as "finish later", although I really have no intention of doing that. How do I delete an Unscheduled Payroll with nothing in it for pay?

To to this, start the process again and then, if the employee name is highlighted in yellow, right-click the employee and choose Revert Paycheck. Once they're not highlighted, then there is no pending / unscheduled payroll.

to BigRed Consulting:  OK, well maybe I'm ok.

 

I canceled the entry before ever saving it, and I unchecked the person so there was no one highlighted in yellow and no dollars in the payroll. So that would make it sound like there is no pending Unscheduled Payroll floating around in the system. Is there anyplace that would show me if a payroll is "waiting for someone to finish later"?

No, nowhere else.
