Do your employees get notified when you pay out a bonus?

Hello @usermolly,

I can provide clarification to your question about proving employee bonuses in QuickBooks Online.

Yes, employees get notified when an employer provides a bonus payout. However, they can opt-out and choose not to get email notifications if they sign up for QuickBooks Workforce.

Here's how:

1. Have your employee sign in to QuickBooks Workforce.
2. Click the Gear icon at the top left corner, then choose Email Notification.
3. Turn the email notification on/off by toggling the checkbox Send me an email when new pay stubs are available.

Also, I've attached a link you can use to learn more about QuickBooks Workforce, like how to resend or cancel an invitation, as well as contact support: Invite your employees to QuickBooks Workforce to see pay stubs, W-2s and more.

Please let me know if you need anything else regarding payroll or the email notification. The Community and I will be here to help you.
