Mystery net zero payroll run

QuickBooks Online

Ok y'all , I have to get this one off my chest. I logged in to run payroll tonight and it was already run and then adjusted so that there was a net zero impact. Because payroll was run, I have to choose to "create a new check" for employees.

Here's the thing ... I'm the only user besides the treasurer (who needs help to log in so I'm quite certain they didn't run a payroll).... And I haven't logged in for over a week. Also it says the payroll was run in the future (one day from now). It is not a recurring automated payroll ... These are driven by timesheets I manually update.

So ... I guess I'm either left with "a ghost ran the payroll" or maybe an AI just decided to mess with our little non-profit entity. Whatever it is ... Not cool.

Just got call back from the treasurer. They don't have any clue either.

I'm really honestly wondering , wtaf.
