Final Pay of a deceased employee

Hi BradleyB,

Thanks for reaching out to Community.  Preparing a final pay cheque for an employee can be done seamlessly while ensuring the calculations are accurate, and in accordance to government guidelines.  QuickBooks Desktop provides the ability for you to edit the employee for times such as this.  I'd be happy to help!

Follow these steps to to edit the details of the employee:

1. Go the the Employee Center 

2. Select the employee and click on the Edit icon

3. In the Personal section enter Estate of (followed by the employee name) in the Print Name As section

4. Create the final paycheck and include the Release Date and ROE code 

5. When finished hit Continue

6. Open Pay Cheque Detail to review any applicable taxes and make any changes necessary

7. When done, hit Create Pay Cheque

Note:  It's always best practice to reach out to the CRA for additional information and guidelines for this type of circumstance.

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach back out.  We're here for you!
