Hey there, Beemer! Let me share with you the simplified steps to remove employees from the QuickBooks Desktop payroll.

 

Notably, before initiating the deletion procedure in QuickBooks Desktop, make sure you no longer require access to any information on the removed employee.

 

To delete an employee in QuickBooks Desktop payroll, follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to Employees, and select Employee Center.
  2. Right-click the name of the employee. Select All employees from the Active Employees dropdown if the employee isn't on the list.
  3. Choose Delete Employee, then select OK.

 

Moreover, QuickBooks won't let you delete employees who have paychecks or pay history. However, you can change their employment status as needed.

 

Additionally, please check out these articles to get additional insights and information on how you can improve the performance of your QuickBooks Desktop:
