How do I remove this scheduled payroll?

Hayley23

Hi, I have already created this scheduled payroll, for some reason it comes up with an out of date already completed payroll.

How do I remove this moving forward to know when there is a real error when it comes up.

Thanks

Go to Employees - Edit payroll schedules - and correct the date to the next scheduled pay, and use this when you are processing pays

Just to add ... many users are under the impression they have to use Payroll Schedules. However, the purpose of these are for those who have different types of pay runs eg where you have some employees who are paid monthly v some paid fortnightly - It just allows you to display only those applicable to the relevant pay frequency.

If you ONLY have employees all paid at the same time, Payroll Schedules are of no other benefit at all ... In which case, you can just remove it completely by deleting the schedule from the employee's records:

... & just running Unscheduled Payroll ... each pay run.

NB: The Payroll Schedules are essentially just "list templates" - Once you've removed it from each employee, you can just delete the Schedule itself 😊

I must say I use the schedule all the time and I only have a simple payroll, just means I don’t have to think about the date.

I only use it for one client who has 2 separate pay runs - one for commission staff & one for fortnightly. The date prefills regardless so it's of no benefit to my other clients who only have one pay frequency/type.

Payroll Schedules do work well if their purpose is understood & they're utilised correctly - It's when a user needs to do a pay outside of the schedule or doesn't start the standard process via the existing one, that's when schedules can become problematic 😬
