Payroll

I'll assist you in fixing your last paycheck, bg70.

Yes, that is correct. The system will give you a warning if you edit a paycheck that has already been submitted.

To fix it, you can delete the paycheck and create it again. The process will vary depending on your payroll subscription. If you use QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll, you should be aware of the following before deleting:

• You cannot delete just one payment in a pay run. If you delete a pay run, QuickBooks deletes all of the employee payments in the payroll.
• If you need to correct an employee payment, you can make changes in the next pay run, and the Full Payment Submission (FPS) for the next pay run will reflect the updates.
• Print out all the payslips and reports if you need to delete an entire pay run. This way you'll have all the info you need for all the employees you've paid when you re-create 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, contact HMRC and set up employees with new payroll IDs. Alternatively, you can migrate to Advanced payroll.

Here's how to delete a pay run:

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

If you have QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll, you can unlock payroll before deleting.

Here's how:

1. Go to Payroll and select the Pay Runs tab.
2. Choose the pay period you wish to unlock.
3. Click Pay Run Actions, and then Unlock.
4. Enter the reason for unlocking the pay run in the comments.
5. Hit Unlock to confirm.
6. After you unlock the pay run, select Delete Pay Run.
7. Click Delete to confirm.

After deleting the pay run, it cannot be undone and nothing can be recovered. Check out the following articles below for your reference:
