Mistakenly made duplicate entry for employee. Now correct name with hours is not showing up while running payroll. How do I delete the duplicate entry?

You'll have to locate the duplicate employee entry from the Employee List through the Payroll menu, PA_MKH.

Before we proceed, please note that you can only delete an employee's profile in QuickBooks if they have no associated pay history or paychecks. This deletion is irreversible. If the employee has any pay history or paychecks, you will need to change their employment status instead.

To delete a duplicate employee, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Payroll menu and select Employees.
2. From the list, look for the duplicate employee entry and click on the name. If the employee isn't on the list, select All employees from the Active Employees dropdown.
3. Select the Actions dropdown and choose Delete employee.
4. Confirm the action by choosing Delete employee.
