How to remove an employee incorrectly entered from the payroll list

Hello there, jmkanosky2673.

Let's remove the incorrect employee name from your payroll list.

Deleting an employee can only be done if they don't have paychecks yet. If they already have one, we can only make them inactive.

Here's how to delete your employee:

1. From the Payroll menu, select Employees.
2. Click the employee's name.
3. Select Edit Employee.
4. On the bottom part of the screen, click Delete employee.
5. Click Yes on the prompt message. 

If you'd like to inactivate an employee, you can change their employment status to Terminated.

1. Still, within the Employees tab, find the employee's name.
2. Select the Edit (pencil) icon beside Employment.
3. Click the Active drop-down menu under the Status column.
4. Select Terminated.
   

If you want to generate your employee's details such as name, address, SSN, deduction, and tax information, you can run the Employee Details report. To learn more on what payroll reports you can run in the program, please check this article: List of payroll reports.
