How to process a late paycheck? payroll has already been run and one employees hours were missed.

We've got your back, @useraddictedtoespres. I've got the instructions you'll need on how to process late payroll.
 

If you missed payroll and haven't paid this employee yet, run an unscheduled payroll using the actual pay date.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Payroll menu, then select Employees.
2. Select Run payroll.
3. Find the employee you want to pay, and then select Create another check.
4. Enter employee compensation, including any salary adjustments, vacation or sick hours, and other pay types.
5. Confirm the pay period and check date.
6. Select Preview Payroll, and then select Submit payroll.
7. If creating a paper check, you can handwrite or print the check and give it to the employee by the check date.
8. Select Finish payroll.

If you paid your employee in a pinch but forgot to send it to us, you can create your paychecks as you normally would. Then, change the check type from direct deposit to paper check. For the detailed steps, refer to this article: Process a late payroll (backdate paychecks).

It's important to pay your employees on time with direct deposit. To learn more about lead times, head to this link: When do I need to submit payroll to pay employees on time?.
