I rushed and set my payday to April 30 2025. However, I don't have my EDD Account Number yet; waiting for them to get back to me. How do I change the first payday in QBO?

We're glad you've posted here in the Community forum, info2145. Let's update your pay schedule in QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll.

Currently, QBO Payroll doesn't have a direct option to change a pay schedule once it's been added. However, we can add a new one to update your employee's pay schedule. Let me guide you through this process.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Payroll option, then to your Employees.
2. Select your employee and go to Employment details. 
3. Choose Edit and select the + Add pay schedule to create a new one.
4. Fill out the appropriate fields and click Save.
5. Hit Save when done.

Additionally, you can name the other pay schedule differently to avoid confusion.

Furthermore, you reference this article on you have your payroll state account number: Add or change your payroll state account number.
