Discovered EE hours incorrect after submitting payroll for DD.

After submitting payroll I discovered that an EE was underpaid because their hours were incorrect. Our pay date is Thursday and our payroll deadline is Tuesday by 5 pm PST. It's currently 2 pm PST on Monday. 

Can I edit or delete the direct deposit and resend it?

 

I'm using QBDT 2019 Premier Edition and I have an Enhanced Payroll subscription.

  7. Mark the checkbox saying you agree to the terms and conditions of voiding the paychecks.

    Thank you so much for your reply. I followed these steps and everything went smoothly. 

     

    For anyone reading this, I went back and entered the correct hours in Timesheet and then ran an Unscheduled Payroll using the correct pay period end date and pay date. I then sent the payroll data and it went through without any problems. 

     

    Since I had already paid our payroll taxes before discovering the error I ran a new liabilities report for the same period and paid the difference. 

     

    The correction couldn't have been easier.
