how do i cancel a payroll run

Hi there, SMP19662.

If you're working with a manual paycheck, you can delete, edit, or void it depending on your payroll setup in QuickBooks.

To void direct deposit paychecks, you can do so through the Paycheck list. Please ensure that you complete this process before 5:00 PM PST. If you miss the deadline, the payment will be processed and cannot be canceled. Refer to the information below for more details.

• Next-day model: Before 5:00 PM Pacific time the day before payday
• 2-day model: Before 5:00 PM Pacific time, at least 2 business days before payday
• 5-day model: Before 5:00 PM Pacific time, at least 5 business days before payday

Here's how:

1. Go to the Payroll menu, and choose the Employees tab.
2. Navigate to the Paycheque list and set the date range.
   
   
    
3. Besides the Print pay stub, click on the dropdown arrow to select Delete, Void, and Edit.

If the direct deposit has already been processed through ACH, we are unable to stop the transaction. Additionally, the processing time is determined by the funding schedule associated with your account. You will need to wait for the funds to be deposited into your employee's bank account.
