I am using QBO. 

I have 2 pay schedules, a monthly one and a weekly one. 

I am in the monthly one and in the weekly one was another employee who is a leaver. He is showing in the system as a leaver and is no longer on the active employee list. P45 issued etc. 

How do I delete the weekly pay schedule linked with this user? The "Delete" button is greyed out.

Hi email4, it's not possible to delete a pay schedule once you've ran this, instead, you would simply no longer select this schedule going forward.

What? 

So every time i "miss" it and it gives me errors and overdue on my reports I just ignore it?

It forces me to run the weekly

How do I bypass it and run my monthly?

I had the same problem.  I rang and was told that the payroll could not be deleted on a standard payroll.  Only the advanced payroll gives this functionality.  As payroll administrator you cannot simply ignore this issue as when it comes to year end the payroll will not advance to the next year until all the (unnecessary) weekly submissions have been done.
