How can I change the Payroll Period, or how can I delete the current Payroll period to create a new one?

Hi there, 

It's great to have you reach out in the Community. QuickBooks offers the flexibility you need in order to manage your payroll with peace of mind. I'll be happy to share more info so you're on the right track. 

In order to edit the pay periods in QuickBooks, please follow the steps below: 

1. Navigate to Payroll -> Employees.

2. Click on the employee you want to update and edit the Employment details section.

3. Select an existing pay schedule or select Add pay schedule under the Pay Schedules drop-down menu.

5. Select Save.

Note: Once a new pay schedule is created it can be selected for existing and new employees.

6. If there are multiple employees on the same pay schedule you will have to update this setting on each employee.

Note: If you mark the Use this pay schedule as the default for employees you add after this one field, that pay schedule will automatically be assigned to all new employees that you add. You'll be able to change the pay period for each employee in the employee window.
