Thanks for visiting the QuickBooks Community, Gail. Let me share information processing payroll in QuickBooks Online.

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), if you use Paper checks for payroll, you can delete and re-create the payroll to add the two overtime hours. However, if you're using direct deposits, create an Unscheduled payroll for the overtime hours worked outside the regular payroll schedule to ensure accurate compensation. With that, I suggest letting your employee know about the unscheduled payroll so it won't create confusion on your employee's end.

 

Here's how to create and send an unscheduled payroll:

 

  1. Go to Payroll, then select Employees.
  2. Select the ▼ dropdown, and choose one of the following options: Bonus only, Commission only, or Fringe benefits only.
  3. Based on your preference, enter any details about taxes or paycheck calculations. Once done, select Continue
  4. Review the pay period and pay date.
  5. Pick the employees you'd like to pay.
  6. Choose the column or select Actions ⋮, then Edit paycheck to type in your pay details. You can enter hours, compensation, memos, or any other paycheck info as necessary.
  7. Select Preview payroll.
  8. Choose or review the QuickBooks bank account to track your payroll.
  9. Pick Preview payroll detailsSave for later, or Submit payroll.
  10. Click on Close, once done.

 

Furthermore, you can refer to these materials for more guidelines in processing your payroll in QBO:

 

 

After voiding and editing, I suggest pulling up a payroll report to guarantee the update is recorded accordingly.
