Hello, so i've got a new bookkeeper, and she ran through biweekly payroll, only realizing after checks were generated and tax payments processed, that one employee was missing a whole weeks worth of hours. After entering in the missing data, i'm at a loss as to how to issue a check for only the missing hours. running through as usual, it wants to include the hours he's already been paid for. if it were the first of two weeks that were missing, i could simply change the "through" date to eliminate the hours already paid from the second week. unfortunately, it's the second week that he's owed for. Ideas?

Hi there, @GRLinc.

 

You can create a new unscheduled paycheck. From there, enter those missing hours of that specific employee. This way, they're still aligned with the first paycheck you've processed inside the program. I'll input the steps below to get you started. These are the steps:

 

  1. Access your QuickBooks Desktop company.
  2. Go to the Employees menu, and then Payroll Employees.
  3. Select Unscheduled Payroll.
  4. Choose the employee, and then ensure to use the same pay period that you've used in your previous paycheck.
  5. Click the Open Paycheck Detail button, and then In the Hours section, enter the missing hours.
  6. Click the Save & Close button, and then click the Continue button.
  7. Once done, click Create Paychecks and then Close.

 

For more information, see this article: Create and run your payroll.

 

Additionally, if you want to let your employees view their paystubs, you can visit this page: Invite your employees to QuickBooks Workforce to see pay stubs and W-2s if you use QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

 

@GRLinc, it's been a pleasure to have you here today. I'll be happy to help you again if you have any additional QuickBooks-related concerns. Take care!

the issue is that taxes have already been reported and accepted so i'm not able to alter the existing check. any new check i've created i'm not able to eliminate or choose dates to not include the hours already paid for. i need to create a totally seperate check, and make an additional tax deposit.
