How can I get employees paid if I terminated them within the payroll run?

Hello kwalker-streamfi,

Thanks for connecting with us here. QuickBooks is a versatile program that helps you manage your work with ease. I'll be glad to share more info and help make sure you're on the right track with your work. 

Based on what you've described, I recommend using Other earnings as a pay type for your employee. Other earnings are taxable payments to your employee and they are separate from regular wages, such as retroactive pay increases and severance pay. You can add the Other Earnings pay type to an employee by opening their employee profile and navigating to the Pay section. Under Question 4 you'll see Additional pay types. Choose the Edit pencil to make changes. From here you can scroll to the bottom of the Common pay types section and check Other Earnings. You can customize this to read Severance pay if you wish by choosing to add + Another Other Earnings type. It's important to make sure that the employees that are getting paid are active on the account.

Let me know if this info helps by leaving a comment below. I'll be here in case you have other questions. Otherwise, I wish you a great rest of the week.
