Applying a Partial Payment Towards an Old Paycheque

Hi there. Since it was only partially paid, the paycheque is still showing as unpaid because QuickBooks payroll creates a paycheque for the full amount. To resolve this, you can create an Expense Transaction as a partial payment.

Here's how: 

1. Go to + Create, then select Expense.
2. Fill out Employees name, amount and the date the payment was paid.
3. Choose Payroll Expense under Category dropdown.

          4. Leave a memo referencing the paycheque.

          5. Hit Save and close.

During reconciliation, match the $1,000 bank payment to this transaction.

Also, I recommend reaching out to an accountant to avoid ruining your book balance.
