Hi there, nglbuild.

 

Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community. I'll be sharing details to ensure you can amend payroll based on the payroll version you're using.

 

There's a Pay History dashboard in QuickBooks that will show the most recent pay runs by default. Then, you can access and see all pay runs in the program by going to the Payroll section. With this, you'll have the option to delete a pay run from there so you can amend the payroll.

 

Beforehand, please see the details below for the thing that you need to understand before you delete the pay run. Know that this will only apply to QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll.

 

  • You're unable to delete just one payment in a pay run. If you remove a pay run, QuickBooks Online deletes all of the employee payments in the payroll.
  • If you're trying to correct an employee's payment, you can make changes in the next pay run. Then, the Full Payment Submission (FPS) for the next pay run will reflect the updates.
  • If you need to delete an entire pay run, make sure to print out all the payslips and reports beforehand. Then you have all the information you need for all the employees you've paid when you recreate the pay run.
  • If you need to delete a scheduled pay run that has already been submitted to HMRC, you can create a new pay schedule and add employees with the same payroll ID. If this doesn't work, you may need to contact HMRC and set up employees with a new payroll IDs on the new pay schedule. Alternatively, you can migrate to Advanced payroll.

 

Then, you can now follow these steps on how to delete or rollback payroll:

 

  1. Go to the Payroll menu and select Employees.
  2. Choose Payroll History and select the most recent period.
  3. On the Payroll details page, click Actions and Delete Payroll.
  4. Type YES in the box and click Delete.
  5. Repeat these steps for any additional pay runs that need deleting.

 

After that, you can click on this article to view information on what happens after you delete the pay run: Delete a pay run in QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll.

 

However, if you're using QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll, you can open this article to see the steps on how to perform the process of deleting a pay run: Unlock or delete a pay run in QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll.

 

Once done, you can now recreate a pay run with the correct information. Then, make sure to review it before submitting the payroll. 

 

Lastly, you may refer to this article to view details on how you can add a new or existing employee to QuickBooks Workforce so they can access their payslips online: Invite employees to QuickBooks Workforce to see payslips, P60s and more.
