My employee closed his checking account without notifying me. His direct deposit was rejected and the amount was credited back to my account. How do I now issue a paper check for replacement?

Hello, @bwb.

 

I'd be happy assist you with creating a paper check for the rejected direct deposit of your employee. 

 

You can change the direct paycheck to a manual paycheck so you can pay your employee.

 

Let me guide you how:

  1. Click on the Banking tab.
  2. Select the Use Register.
  3. Double-click the direct deposit check.
  4. Select the Paycheck Detail button.
  5. Uncheck the Direct Deposit option on the upper right.
  6. Select OK.
  7. Verify that there is a dollar amount on the check before printing the check.
  8. Give the check to your employee.

For more details about this process, please check out this article: Employee did not receive direct deposit created in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

 

These steps should get you on track, @bwb.

 

Fill me in if you have any other questions with this concern. I'll make sure to get back to you as soon as I can. Wishing you and your business continued success.

That was the first thing I did, but  I get an error message and it won't uncheck or allow me to print a paper check.

According to the article you linked, that is not an option in desktop. I do think I've found the answer in that article, though. Thank you!

I also had a rejected direct deposit paycheck for one of my employees.  The rejection shows up in the Direct Deposit Status window.  However, Intuit has not credited my payroll bank account yet.  It was rejected on the first and now it is the sixth of the month.  How long does it take???

Let's get this sorted out, @Melissa R.

 

The rejected direct deposit paychecks will be credited to your bank account within 14 banking days. In your case, I recommend contacting our Payroll Support so we can do a bank trace.

 

Please refer to @Candice C's post to reach out.

 

Additionally, here's a link that covers all the tasks you can do when using payroll service: Help on common payroll topics.

 

Get back to me anytime if you have other Direct Deposit questions. I'm more than willing to assist you. Take care and have a nice day ahead.

My direct deposit was refunded, how do I enter the deposit into the register?
