I want to Opt out of the Workforce completely.. How do you do this?

This is an absolute violation of privacy.  The employees of my clients are freaked out that they are getting an email from QuickBooks.  I have had to field a ton of calls from confused and furious employees who thought their personal information was breached by my bookkeeping company.  Certainly this could be a great service, but only if it selected, not automatically turned on, with an obscure area to turn it off.  Intuit, please disengage the campaign of data collection of my clients.  I am not a source of data for you to mine, particularly without my clients permission, it is theft.  We can certainly shift our payroll processing to another provider who understands how crucial trust is in this business. 

Intuit shouldn't be soliciting my employees in the first place for "free products". I don't appreciate it. Now I find out you can't turn it off if you're unhappy with it.  

BAD business practice. Unethical. 

After reading the comments I understand that Intuit does not have a company global option for turning Workforce on or off.  

I want to know if there a way to turn an individual employee connection to workforce OFF?  The employee does not want anyone to have this option and some employee already have created an account that he does not want them to have.

We just had this same thing happen.  All of our employees received the email on their personal accounts and at 2:00am (talk about unprofessional) with our company name as the sender.  I was able to turn off Workforce, but now have to draft an explanation email to my employees asking them to disregard the email and apologize for the confusion.  This is incredibly unacceptable on Intuit's behalf.

It infuriates me that QB took it upon themselves to contact all our employees without my consent. They are using my account for their marketing purposes.

I do not enter an email for any employee in their profile and then there is no way for QB to contact them.

I also do not check the button that asks if you want QB to send something ? I forget what.

But it is automatic they will reach out to all your employees . AUTOMATIC unless you do the above to stop them.

I see there are many other QB users just as unhappy about this change as I am.

Beware.  You are probably signed up for payroll and don't even know it.

Click on employees tab then manage payroll cloud services then click status to off for QB workforce. I use desktop. May be different for online.
