    Hello Community Users! Just wanted to pop in to add clarification to the post. If you have set up payment file settings in QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll as per the article included here  The payments still don't get paid automatically from the bank, the only way this will happen is if you upload the BACS file to the bank itself.

    Hey there, Ben Energy.

     

    If you're trying to input an employee's bank details for direct deposit payments, the option to do this is unavailable in the QuickBooks Online UK version.

     

    However, if you're using QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll, you can scan through the following article for the detailed steps on how you can set up different payment file settings in the system: Set up payment file settings in QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll.

     

    You may want to check the following resources below. These will help guide you on how to manage employee details depending on the payroll service you're using. On the same links, you'll find other articles that can serve as references for your payroll tasks:

     

    QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll hub.

    QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll hub.

     

    If you're referring to something else, please let me know. I want to make sure you're all set up. Have a nice day!

    I don't understand how this works either. 

     

    I have created my employees and will need to run my first payroll soon. But I can't see where to put in the employee's bank details. 

     

    I read the two articles you suggested and neither of them tell me what I need to know. 

     

    What I, and I think the OP, want to know is - Does QuickBooks actually 'pay' the employees for you from your bank account? Or does it just make a record with the payroll and we, as employers, need to physically pay the employees ourselves using bank transfers or other methods. 

     

    I have spent hours trying to find this information and I can't find it anywhere.
