How to Change a Pay Date When You Have Already Run Payroll
If you have already run a payroll and need to change the pay date, you will need to void the payroll and rerun it with the correct date.
Use the Void Payroll tool to void a single check or up to 10 checks at one time.
Go to Payroll > Payroll Tasks > Void Payroll.
In Step 1, a list of checks you can void appears. If you have the payroll tax filing service, you cannot void checks from tax periods that have already been filed. To look at a different time period, select a different pay date (back to the previous month) and click Run Report.
Click View Details next to a check to confirm it is the one you want to void.
Check the box next to each check you want to void
Click Continue to move to Step 2.
In Step 2, review the checks to be voided. If you have Full Service Payroll, you will see a refund of the payroll taxes from the voided checks.
Click Void Payroll Entries to void the checks, or click Cancel to return to the payroll detail screen without voiding.
If you have paid the voided payroll with direct deposit, please see our help article, Voided Direct Deposit Refund Scenario.
