I am trying to issue an advance to an employee set up for direct deposit, but QB says I should issue a cheque. How do I fix this?

To fix this, please double-check that the employee’s payment method is set to Direct deposit in their profile and ensure that any changes made are saved.

When running payroll, you have to change the Pay method from Paper cheque to Direct deposit, as this may cause processing issues. Here's how:

1. Click Run payroll, select a specific pay schedule, then Continue.
2. Tick the box next to the specific employee.
3. Scroll right to the Pay method column, then choose Direct deposit from the dropdown menu.
4. Verify that you set a future pay date, as it requires lead time and cannot be processed retroactively.
5. Once done, submit the payroll again.

If you encounter any other issues with the upcoming payroll, don't hesitate to leave a comment below. We're always here to help.
