I am trying to set up QuickBooks workforce for my employees but cannot find the preferences tab in payroll settings to turn it on.

Hi jwrcatreasurer, thanks for reaching out to the Community today

To invite multiple employees to QuickBooks Workforce: 

1. Go to Payroll and select Employees.
2. Select Invite to Workforce.
3. Select the employees you want to invite by checking the corresponding boxes.
4. Enter their email addresses.
5. Select Save and send invite.
