Hi there, @Boren and  @kjdffy

 

I'm here to help make sure you can enter your employee's address and contact number.

 

One of the possible reasons why some tabs aren't showing in your QuickBooks Desktop is that your company file is damaged. To isolate the issue, let's run the Verify and Rebuild Utility tool to fix data-related issues on a company file. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the File menu, then select Utilities.
  2. Click Verify Data and select OK to close all windows.
  3. Then, go back to the File menu.
  4. Select Rebuild Data under Utilities.
  5. QuickBooks will ask to make a backup before rebuilding your company file, select OK.
  6. Once the rebuild is done, click OK.

 

Then, go back and add your new employee to the system again to double-check. If you get the same result, I suggest following the other solutions offered by this article: Fix data damage on your QuickBooks Desktop company file.

 

Once everything is set, you can proceed with creating paychecks for your employees. For more guidance, feel free to check out this article: How do I create a paycheck for an employee?

 

I'm still open to your replies, @Boren. If you have further concerns about setting up new employees, just comment below or post again.
