 Hi there, dwhicks6131. 

 

I'm here to guide you on how you can run payroll in QuickBooks Online.

 

If it's your first time using payroll, you need to set up your name as an employee. Here's how:

 

  1. Click on Payroll at the left pane, then tap on Employees.
  2. On the Employees window, click on Add an employee.
  3. Enter your details, then hit Done.

Then, create a pay schedule.

 

1. Tap on the Create pay schedule link under the How often do you pay (employee name) field.

2. Select Every other week under Pay frequency.

3. Set the next payday and the end of the next pay period.

4. Enter the pay schedule name, then hit Save.

 

Once done, you're now ready to create your paychecks.

 

  1. Click on Run payroll from the Employees page.
  2. Select your name, then set the pay period and pay date.
  3. Enter the details, then follow the on-screen pop-ups to complete the process.
  4. Replicate the steps for the other paychecks.
