Question

I have an employee no longer working with us. I've submitted payroll, but it doesn't get deposited for 4 days. Can I change is employee status now or do I need to wait?

You'll have to wait until the payroll has been deposited and the employee received their final paycheck to ensure there are no discrepancies, @saralccw.

 

Once the employee receives their final payment, you can now update their status:

 

  1. Navigate to the Payroll section and click on Employees.
  2. Choose the specific employee.
  3. In the Employment details section, click on Edit.
  4. From the Status dropdown, select Terminated.
  5. Finally, click Save.

 

 

You can check this resource to help you update your employee's information: Edit or change employee info in payroll.

 

If you want to check your employee's total payroll wages, taxes, deductions, and contributions, refer to this article: Create a Payroll Summary Report.

 

Furthermore, I suggest exploring QuickBooks Payroll to enhance your payroll processing capabilities.

 

Return to this thread if you have further concerns about changing the employee status.
