New Payroll will not open up.

September 11, 2024

I keep getting a message stating the following:

"One or more employee records have incorrect or missing data."

I have 100+ employees, do I have to look at every employee in order to find what's missing? or is there anyway I can search for the missing information?

In QuickBooks Online Payroll Australia if an employee is not fully set up we will see an incomplete tagging beside their name. Here's how:

 

  1. Click on the Payroll tab.
  2. Checked employee list and should see who has Incomplete tagging.
  3. Click the employee name to open employee details.

 

If you find this option time consuming. We can run the Employee Details Report. 

 

  1. Click on the Payroll tab.
  2. Click on Reports.
  3. Click on Employee Details Report.
  4. Set the fields and click on Run report.

If the issue persists, I recommend contacting our Customer Care Team. That way, they can check your account in a secure form.

 

Post again in the Community if you have other questions.

Thank you the reply.

I have them set up correctly, but excluded them from this pay run as at the time there was nothing to pay them.

I am just concerned that when I update the run again that it 'double posts' all the other employees to the accounts

We have not paid one employee

I need to unlock the pay run and pay this employee.

If I do this, will it duplicate the posting to the Nominal Ledger for the other employees when I finalise the pay run ?

I have a couple of staff who are using a Govt Super fund that we are not able to pay into (waiting on updated legislation to allow outside contributions) and have had payments refunded.  These show up as their Stapled fund through the ATO which makes no difference if we can't get the $$ in their accounts.

I have amended their Super info in QBO to our employer default fund to send it there instead however when I try and run a new Super Batch through Beam it automatically tries to send it to the old fund.  My guessing it is locked to the previous payrun..

Is there a way that I can switch the super to go to the new fund details instead?

Thanks

Rach

Thanks for posting in the Community, RachPS4.

 

It's good to hear that you were able to update the employee super fund details on file. Let me add a few trouble shooting steps to help you process super batch to the new super details of the employee. Here's how:

 

  1. Click on the Payroll tab.
  2. Click on the employee name from the list.
  3. Click on Super Funds.
  4. Select Update Contributions.
  5. Select Yes or No depending on whether the employee wants the super fund updated for unprocessed contributions.

 

Once done, the new super fund details should be used when processing new super batch for unprocessed contributions.

 

If the issue persists, I recommend contacting the Customer Care Team. That way, they can take a look of your current settings in a secure way.

I have accidently finalized and authorized super payments on a pay run with an incorrect date is there anyway to delete or edit this pay run?

November 4, 2024

Thanks for posting in the Community, Robert.

 

Once there is super payments processed on the pay run we're unable to unlock and edit it. We'll have to create an ad-hoc pay run to create one with the correct pay date. You'll need to create two ad-hoc pay runs, first one is with negative earnings to offset the first pay run. And the second ad-hoc pay run is with the correct pay date.

If you need more help in creating the ad hoc payrun, I recommend contacting the Customer Care Team. That way, they can check your account in a secure form.

Missed a timesheet on payroll. rayrun wont let me edit. how can I add timesheet

December 22, 2024

Thanks for posting in the Community, [email address removed].

 

If you have processed super payment to the pay run you wanted to add the missed timesheet, that is the reason why you cannot unlock and edit the pay run. What we can do is create an ad-hoc pay run to add the missed timesheet. Ad-hoc pay run is the same as creating your usual pay run.

 

Let's try to unlock the pay run first using the steps below:

 

  1. Click on the Payroll tab and choose Pay Runs.
  2. Click on the pay run affected.
  3. Click on Pay Run Actions and click on Unlock.
  4. Enter a Comment and click on Unlock.

Once unlocked, you can add the timesheet to the edited pay run.

 

If you cannot unlock the pay run due to super payments processed, simply create a new pay run (ad-hoc pay run) using the same pay period and pay date.

How do I set up and pay my employees? The QuickBooks program says when I go into streamline your payday and select plan, that it looks like your billing details are no longer working, it won’t let me check my billing details. I have never paid someone before and don’t want to make a mistake

To process and pay employees, we'll need to have QuickBooks Online Payroll. For us to sign up for QuickBooks Payroll, make sure that you have an updated payment information. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon ⚙ and select and select Subscriptions and billing.

Please note that we can only add payroll subscription if you sign up your QuickBooks Online account directly on our website. For QuickBooks Online accounts that we're signed up via Apple or Google App Store, you may need to contact our Customer Support Team to transfer your billing to Intuit.
