Hi Fiona, yes you can do this. Try opening the payrun that you want to edit, Select payrun actions, unlock, (leave a comment about why you are reopening, if you like), make edits, and finalise the payrun again. Is that helpful?

This would be great advice if you started with how to actually find an existing payrun in Quickbooks. You can't search for it in the Search option. It's not in the menu. The only option is to add a payrun. Can you direct me to how to find an existing payrun?

Hi KLBluesky

Sorry to hear that you've been having trouble finding the existing Pay Runs; you can find them in the Employees tab, here's how:

1. Select Employees from the left-hand menu  

2. Select Pay Runs, it is the second header within the Employees tab.

There you can filter by finalised or unfinalised, as well as pay schedule. Select the Pay Run you wish to edit from this screen.

I hope this answers your question!

I cannot see the employee option down the left there is dashboard, transaction, expenses, sales, cashflow, payroll, reports, taxes, millage, accounting, my accountant and apps.

Hi Josephine, 

Just to double check, when you select the Payroll option you mentioned you see on the left-hand side menu, does it take you to your payroll system. If you could try this for us please. 

Thanks,

I had the same issue.

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to put my two cents in to see if I can clear things up for anyone following this thread.

To edit existing payslips, we do this by going into the specific pay run in which the payslips derive from and making changes from there.

To do this, go to the Employees tab on the left hand side menu (this can sometimes be hidden, try clicking on the symbol that has the 3 horizontal lines located at the top left of the screen).

Then go to the Pay Runs tab and select the specific pay run you are looking to edit.

Once in the pay run, you are able to make all the necessary changes. If the Pay Run is locked, you are able to unlock it to make the changes.

When you are happy with the result, you are able to select the green Finalise button which will lock in the payroll data and send the payslips at your desire.

Hope this helps!

Kristian.

No, it is not legal to alter your pay stub. But you have the option of doing something different. You can discuss your salary issue with the Pay office.
