How do I mark an employee's record to show that she has opted out of the pension scheme, to remove the permanent warning on the Employees tab?

Hi there, sheila27.

I'll provide some information on how to mark an employee's record to show she has opted out of the pension scheme.

If you're using the Standard payroll and didn't run a payroll yet, you'll have to go in the workplace pension page. From there, you can opt-out the employee.

Here's how:

1. Click the Employees menu.
2. Select the employee that you want to opt-out.
3. Scroll down to Workplace pension and then, click it.
4. Click the Opt-out radio button.
5. Hit Save.

However, if payroll is done, exclude the employee to show he has opted out. For additional information, you can check this article: QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll Hub.

If you're using the Advanced payroll, please follow the steps below on how to opt-out an employee.

1. Click the Employee menu.
2. Select the employee that you want to opt-out.
3. Go to the Pension Setting. Then, select Opt-out by clicking the radio button from the pension scheme.
4. Hit Save.

For additional details, you can refer to this article:  QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll Hub. This also provides information on how to manage and run payroll for your employees.
