I have an issue with employee won't let me run payroll

You'll have to finish your employee setup so you can run your payroll, Lynn. Let's visit their profile and check every section to ensure all the necessary details are entered. I'll gladly guide you on how to do this below.

It's essential to report accurately to HMRC, which is why QuickBooks Payroll requires you to fill out your employees' employment details, like tax information, before processing their payroll. To check the data you've entered into their profile, follow these steps:

1. Go to Payroll, then select Employees.
2. Select your employee.
3. In the Profile tab, click Start or Edit in each section (Personal info, Employment details, Tax information, Payment method, Pay types, Workplace pension, loan & other deductions, and Emergency contact) to open their content.
4. Click Save once you're done editing every section.

After that, go ahead and run your payroll.

Moreover, you have the option to generate various payroll reports to understand your business's finances and your employees. For guidance on this process, please refer to one of the articles below:
