I am running my first payroll and the Pay Period got an automatic date i don't know how to change. Can anyone help how to change the pay period when you run the payroll

Hello there, @info2334.

I’ll help you set up your pay period to run payroll according to your preferred schedule.

If you're using QuickBooks Online Payroll (Core, Premium, or Elite), pay period dates are automatically set based on the pay schedules assigned to your employees. You can change them while running payroll by selecting a different period from the dropdown menu.

Here's how:

1. Go to the All apps menu and select Payroll.
2. Click Employees, then Run payroll.
3. In the Pay period field, choose the appropriate period from the dropdown menu.
4. Select Preview payroll to review.
5. Submit payroll to complete the process.

However, if you're using an Advanced Payroll, refer to this link: Adjust pay period dates within a pay run in QuickBooks Advanced Payroll.

Should you have any other concerns, feel free to reply to this thread.
