Hi there, scaste.

 

Paychecks and direct deposit payments can be cancelled after they're submitted. Deleting a paycheck removes the transaction from your payroll. You can do this if it hasn't been processed yet.
 

Here's how:

  1. In the top menu bar, go to Banking, then Use Register.
  2. Find and open your employee's check.
  3. Click Delete.
  4. Press OK.


If it can't be deleted, you'll want to void it. However, depending on your processing time, the debit from your bank for taxes and direct deposit might not be stopped.
 

In the event your deadline to cancel has passed, this worker will receive their funds in the associated bank account. You can void their payment and collect your money back from the employee. Additionally, you may qualify to submit a request for direct deposit reversal.
