Can someone help with an incorrect payroll id that has meant we have submitted payroll data for the incorrect employee

Welcome to the Community space. alison-duckworth.

I want to ensure you’re pointed in the right direction. 

In this case, you'll need to contact our Payroll Support Team to request a deletion for the payroll submitted, so you can recreate it using the right Payroll ID of the employee to resubmit. Since accessing a customer’s company requires account verification, and we’re unable to perform them in the Community for security reasons,

For guidance in updating an employee's record, see this article: Add, update an employee record in QuickBooks Online.

 If you have additional questions or concern about payroll, just let me know. I'm always happy to assist. Have a good one.
