Bug? QBO Changes my employees to paper check randomly?

Hi all,

 

Just wondering if anyone else has been having this issue - seems that QBO is automatically changing my employees (apparently randomly?) from direct deposit to paper checks. It doesn't do it to all of them, only some in any given payroll cycle.

 

Its a real bummer because if I don't notice than people wouldn't get their paycheck on time. 

 

As an aside, it also sometimes is not transferring hours from time cards into the payroll app correctly; twice now I've caught it in an error that would have underpaid my team by multiple thousands of dollars. Separate issue presumably though.
