Can I change an employee to paper cheque after the payroll has been run?

Hi mldecor966.

Being able to switch your payment method from direct deposit to paper cheques is something that can be easily done in QuickBooks Online. I'd be happy to go over how to make the change in QuickBooks Online.

In order to change your payment method to paper cheques in the QuickBooks Online payroll add on you just need to follow these steps:

1. Go to Payroll and select Employees (Take me there).
2. Select Run Payroll.
3. If you use more than one pay schedule, select the schedule to use for this payroll run, and then select Continue.
4. Select the direct deposit icon for the employee.
5. Select Paper cheque in the window.
6. Enter the employee's pay cheque info.
7. Select Preview payroll, and then select Submit payroll.
8. Enter the cheque number. (The cheque number is required only if you're printing on blank cheque stock.)
9. Select Print pay cheque to print the pay cheque. (Note: You won't see the Print pay cheque button until you choose what to print the pay cheques on.)
10. Select Print pay stub to print only the pay stub and hand write the cheque.
11. Select Finish payroll.

To switch it back to direct deposit you'll just need to follow the same steps and change paper cheque to direct deposit.
