You can reach out to our payroll live expert to change the period dates of your paycheck, maryann22.

 

If the paycheck is a direct deposit that has not yet been processed, you can attempt to delete it and then recreate it with the correct pay period.

 

Please note that once a paycheck is created, you won't be able to edit the pay period, regardless of whether it is a direct deposit that has already been processed or a paper check. To change a paper check pay period, I recommend contacting payroll live support.

Once you've completed running payroll, you can run a payroll report to track your payroll transactions. For more information, please check this article: Run payroll reports.
