I am new to QB, I added employees 2 days ago but now that function is not enabled. Is there something obvious I am missing?

Thank you for any help!

Glad to have you here, FocusHealth, and thank you for bringing this matter to our attention along with the detailed description and the attached image. Let me guide you through some troubleshooting steps to help you add employees to QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

Before anything else, may I ask if you're the master or primary admin of your QBO account? If not, it's possible that the admin changed your access permissions. It could explain why you were previously able to add employees but now find that the button to add an employee is grayed out.

 

However, if you do have the correct role and access but the "Add an Employee" button remains grayed out, we can proceed with browser troubleshooting steps. Access your account through a private window in your browser. This step will help to rule out any issues with browser cookies or cache that might be affecting your account's functionality.

 

Use these shortcut keys on your keyboard to access incognito mode:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Safari 11 or newer: ⌘ + Shift + N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Shift + Ctrl + P
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + N

 

If you're able to add an employee using a private window, you can proceed to clearing your browser's cache to start fresh. Clearing the cache will remove the stored data that your browser has accumulated over time, which may include outdated or corrupted information that could be causing functionality issues with the program.

 

Additionally, here are some articles that can help you in managing your payroll process in QBO:
