How do Ipay an employee in payroll

Hi there, @thomas-dickson3-.

I'm here to help you set up payroll in QuickBooks Online.

Before we begin, make sure to check the following:

• Register with HMRC as an employer to acquire your Government Gateway user ID and password, PAYE reference number, and Accounts Office reference number.
• Turn on Standard Payroll and Real Time Information (RTI) reporting.
• Complete the setup for all of your employees. You can review and change an employee's preferences to ensure that their information appears complete if they are shown on the employee list but tagged as incomplete.

When everything is ready for you to run payroll, Complete will appear next to both Payroll Status and RTI Status. We'll also demonstrate what takes place following payroll. Let's begin.

1. Create a pay run
2. Add salary, additional payments, or deductions
3. Review and submit payroll

Check on how to run payroll in QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll for the detailed steps of the process.

QuickBooks automatically generates a journal entry for the pay run in the background once you run payroll. You cannot customize the entry. However, you can select which Net pay account to manually update the entries after submitting. Find journals and transactions in QuickBooks by using the search tool.

The last step is to pay any payroll responsibilities due to HMRC for the specific tax month. The Employee Payment Report (P32), under the Reports page, contains the amount owed.
