Payroll

Hello!  When entering payroll information for the paycheck I put 8 hours as Vacation instead of Sick Pay.

I have already printed the pay stub.  Is there a way to change that, after it has been printed?  It is the same pay rate.  Thank you.

I appreciate you for reaching out to us here in the Community, missmissy. I'm here to help you correct the paystub information in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). 

 

If it's a regular paycheck, as long as there are no changes in the amounts, you can edit it by toggling the correct item. However, if it's a direct deposit, you'll want to void the existing paycheck and create a new one.

Before doing so, let's create a backup copy of your company file to ensure you have the original data. You can restore it in case of accidental loss or damage.

 

Here's how to edit a paycheck:

 

  1. Go to Banking at the top menu bar and select Use Register.
  2. Choose your bank account, then OK.
  3. Select and open the check in question.
  4. Click Paycheck Detail and make a necessary update.
  5. When you are ready select OK.
  6. Once done, click Save & Close, then Yes.

 

Here's how to void a direct deposit paycheck:

  1. Go to the Employees at the top menu bar, then choose Edit/Void Paychecks.
  2. Change the Show paychecks through/from dates to the date of the paychecks you need to void.
  3. Select the Employee and click Void. 
     

 

You can create a direct deposit offset payroll item when you recreate missing or voided direct deposit paychecks that are sent to employees' accounts. It is to zero out the net pay amount so that your employee doesn’t get paid again.
