Hello there, @treasurer152. Let me outline the steps to delete an employee in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

If you have mistakenly added an employee to your payroll or imported old employees from another payroll service, you can delete them in QBO as long as they don't have any pay history or paychecks. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Payroll and select Employees.
  2. Click the employee's name. If the employee isn't on the list, select All Employees from the Active Employees dropdown.
  3. From the Actions dropdown, click Delete Employee.
  4. Select Yes to confirm.

 

If you're unable to delete the employees because they have a pay history, you can change their employment status.

 

Furthermore, here's an article to guide you in creating your paychecks and sending your payroll: Create and run your payroll.
