Same problem - none of the phone numbers work, and the number provided through the Help icon feature is also invalid.

Did anybody get a resolution for this?  I need to run my payroll....

April 9, 2020

No, on hold on phone for an hour and no one answered.  Then on live chat and they couldn't find a resolution.  This is a known issue apparently so they just need to crack on and get it fixed.

Hi Jason

 

Our engineers are fixing this issue company by company as the fix is company-specific we have been advised. Can we just ask you to confirm if you migrated into the Standard payroll and have run the final period for the tax year before getting the message on the header of the thread?

 

Thanks

Well an hour later and I have just spoken to a person that is not aware of the problem with running the new financial year month one pay run. !! I see here it has been reported two weeks plus ago, How many other people are waiting to hear from QUICK books when we can expect the software problem to be fixed. I would be interested in seeing other people post on here to show the extent of this issue, is it effecting just a few customers of a few thousand. 

I feel very let down that this company is waffling its way through a problem and not telling its customers how serious the problem really is.  Will I be able to run my pay roll this month or not is the question .!!!

 

How many other customers have this message : "Good news, you ran your final payroll for the tax year. You can run payroll again once the new tax year is ready." and unable to advance to month one pay run. !
