Don’t you love when owners do things like this?  You should record the paycheck as normal.  Make a not that the employer withdrew cash in lieu of the check.  Clear it like a check.  put cash in the check # place.

    also, if you create a paycheck it will automatically deduct taxes. To stop this from happening for this one time pay, edit the Employee details  Withholdings and mark as Do Not withhold.

    Be sure to change this back to what it was for the next paycheck.

    Do we do anything differently than the above mentioned if we already deducted taxes from the cash paid to the employee?
