In QuickBooks Online payroll, there is one employee who has hours filled in automatically (They are not signed up for Auto Payroll). How do I turn this off?

Hi PSSDebbie,

Welcome to Community!  QuickBooks Online Payroll, provides the auto payroll function, to create paycheques automatically, saving valuable time.  However, can turn this feature off, as you feel necessary.  I would be happy to show you how!

If you wish to stop paying one or more of your employees via Auto Payroll, you need to unenroll them.  Here's how;

1. Sign into QuickBooks Online as the Primary admin

2. Open your Settings ⚙, then Payroll Settings

3. In the Auto Payroll box, click Edit ✎

4. Unselect the enrolled employee

5. Hit Save 

6. Review the confirmation window, then select Done.
