Question

"Create Paycheques" screen off by one pay period

The "create paycheques" screen is constantly telling me that the next paycheque payments are overdue, because it's one pay period behind what we've actually paid.  Each pay period we manually adjust the dates prior to running, but it would be nice if we could get it back on track.

Hi lawrenanne1,

 

Thank you for reaching out to Community!  Having to edit your pay schedules every time you run payroll can be rather bothersome and is definitely something I can understand.  Making edits when creating pay cheques will be applied to the current pay period but not the upcoming dates.  In QuickBooks Desktop you'll have the opportunity to update all upcoming payroll schedules.  I'd be happy to show you how!

 

1. From the Employees menu, select Payroll Centre

2. In the Create Pay Cheques table, choose the schedule to be updated

3. From the drop-down menu for Payroll Schedules, hit Edit Schedule

4. Make the necessary changes and select Yes to update the schedule for all employees assigned to it

5. When completed, hit OK

You'll see the new pay periods in accordance with the new schedule and your employees' taxes will adjust for the new pay period. 

 

Here's an article with additional information about payroll schedules for your reference. 

 

Please feel free to reach back out if you have any other questions.  We'd be glad to assist!
