Question

Payroll

Hi,

I have a client who is not fluent in QuickBooks and recently opened a new business. He created a new QuickBooks account for this business, which was a smart decision. However, he has asked me to set up payroll for the new business, and I am encountering some issues.

 

While I was able to add employees and their details, I cannot seem to set up their actual pay runs on his new QuickBooks account.

 

What do I need to do with this?

 

Thank you!

I appreciate the detailed description you provided in your post. We have a few things we need before we can run payroll in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Let's go through each of them one at a time.


First, you'll need a QBO Payroll account to run paychecks.


If you have payroll service, ensure that you've entered the complete employee information. Here's how:
 

  1. Under Menu, click Payroll.
  2. Choose Employees tab.

     

  3. For employees with missing information, you'll see an exclamation mark.
  4. Select the employee and then fill in all the necessary details.

     

Lastly, ensure you have the appropriate access permissions. Take a look at this article for more information: User roles and access rights.


If you are interested in streamlining your payroll process, Explore QuickBooks Payroll. They can provide further guidance managing your team and other related tasks.


After paying your employees, you can run payroll reports to gather useful insights about your business and employees.


By following the steps above, you'd be able to run payroll seamlessly. The Community team is always available if you have other QuickBooks-related concerns.
