How can I change the pay date once payroll has been approved

It's good to see you posting here in the Community space, hranchod.

I'll be happy to guide you on changing the pay date of the approved payroll.

For manual paychecks, you can delete and recreate them to correct the pay date. 

To delete the paycheck, here's how:

1. In the left menu, select Payroll.
2. Go to the Employees tab and select the employee.
3. Choose the Paycheck list tab.
4. Find the paycheck and click Delete under the Action column.
5. Choose Delete to confirm.

Once done, recreate the paycheck with the correct pay date.

As for the direct deposit paychecks, I recommend contacting our Payroll Support Team. They're the ones who'll make the changes in a secure environment.

To reach them, click the ? Help button at the top-right corner and select Contact Us to talk with a live agent. Ensure to review their support hours to know when agents are available.
