Employees and payroll

Hi @dave108,

 

I'm here to share the steps on how you can edit an employee's status.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Highlight the Workers tab.
  2. Select Employees.
  3. Search for the employee in question and click on it.
  4. Click the Edit (pencil) icon beside the Employment section.
  5. From the Status drop-down, select the appropriate status.
    • Active
    • Paid Leave of Absence
    • Unpaid Leave of Absence
    • Not On Payroll
    • Terminated
    • Deceased
  6. Press Done.

Additional notes on what happens if an employee is set to either Terminated or Not On Payroll are found in this article: Delete or terminate an employee. Scroll to the bottom of the article for it. 

 

In case you need to delete or void paychecks, see this article: Delete or void paychecks. Other than the steps, it contains a note as to how QuickBooks Online handles tax calculations for these voided or deleted checks.
