Question

Accidentally entered the wrong work location for new employee

ix weeks ago I accidentally entered the work location of a new employee incorrectly. Today I realized it and went to employees tab and corrected her location.  But when I print reports for the past 6 weeks it still shows her in the wrong (department) work location.

On intuit payroll when I changed the work location of an employee it would go back and change it on past reports.   That worked great if I had incorrectly entered the employee's location.   However it was not good if the employee actually got transferred to a different work location (department). 

So?  I assume QB online payroll accommodates actually transferring an employee to a different work location but it does not accommodate me making an mistake when i entered the new employee.

Thanks for any and all help.

Hi there, LDO. 

 

Let me make it up to you by ensuring you're able to change your work location for a new employees in QuickBooks Online.

 

If you're using QBO Payroll Core, Premium, or Elite, you can do it in the employee's profile. Here's how:

 

  1. Click on Payroll at the left pane, then select Employees.
  2. Select the employee's name.
  3. Tap on Edit or the pencil icon next to Employment.
  4. Select the Work location dropdown, then tap on New Work Location.
  5. Enter the work location address.
  6. Hit OK, then Done.

 

To see additional information about how location tracking is used and how it works, you can refer to this article: Set up and use location tracking.

 

Also, QuickBooks Online offers several payroll reports that you can pull up to access your business and employee information. To get started, see our Payroll reports page.

 

Let me know how this goes and leave a response below if you need further help removing work location in QuickBooks. I'm just a post away to help you. Have a great day ahead.
