Glad to have you here, @cmenard2002.

 

Allow me to help share some information about the employee usage fee for your payroll service.

 

On top of your annual payroll subscription fee, we have the employee usage fee. This is a monthly processing fee for your employees' transactions. The $2 dollar usage fee is per employee and it is a fixed amount regardless of how many paychecks you are going to create in a month. For example, you created a paycheck for 5 of your employees for the month of March, therefore you'll be charged for $10 for the employee usage fee.

Also, to better discuss this matter with you, I'd suggest getting in touch with our Customer Care Team. They have the tools to check on your account and provide you with more details about this concern.

 

This should get you moving today.

 

Feel free to reach back out to me should you need anything else about payroll fees. I want to ensure you're taken care of. Have nice day ahead.

How can I get an invoice for this fee?  I would like to have a receipt to go with my credit card statement.

My credit card is charged at least 2.13 per month or more depending on number of employees I pay. 

I have look online but can't find anyway to print something off that shows this charge.

Thank you.

Thanks for joining this thread, @RD2018.

 

You should be able to receive the invoice for usage fee if you're the Master Admin on your company file.

 

If you're not able to receive an email from Intuit, it might be caused by any of the following:

  • The email was moved to your Junk or Spam folder.
  • You use a custom email domain (example: johndoe@mycompany.com) or an email client (Outlook, Exchange, AOL, Thunderbird, etc.).
  •  Your internet service or domain provider blocks the QuickBooks Payments email address.

To find out what to do if you can't receive any emails, you can check this article: Unable to receive Intuit email

 

You can also contact our QuickBooks Desktop Support Team they have additional tools to pull up your account in a secure environment and further assists you in printing credit card statements for the usage fee. 

 

Here's how to contact our customer support:

  1. Select QuickBooks Desktop Help from the Help menu.
  2. You can also press F1 on your keyboard to bring up the same Help Panel. 
  3. In order to route you to the correct support expert, we need to know what type of question you have.
  4. Click Continue.
  5. We’ll provide you a few options. You choose which one is best for you.

Please know that I'm just a post away if you have any other questions about the usage fee. Have a good day ahead!

The question was the customer pays a QB Payroll monthly usage fee and an Annual Fee, why? You answered regarding the monthly fee however, not the annual fee.  Its my understanding the monthly fee is what we are charged per employee for payroll.  And the Annual fee is what we pay to process our payroll taxes or have questions regarding payroll I believe.  Correct me if I'm wrong.  I feel the annual fee is way to much! Our organization is in search of another program.  We have been using QB for decades.  However, there annual is almost $500, ridiculous!

I have not been able to reach a person.  Called several times and only refers me to "help".  Ridiculous!!  I am looking for credit for the month of May and June credits ($80). There was no payroll due to c19.  Please credit my account or call me since I cannot call you. (REMOVED).  Thank you!

I can share some information regarding the $2 fee in QuickBooks Desktop payroll, Jubes.

 

Most of our payroll services have a base fee per active employee. Every time you process payroll, there's a $2 usage fee per employee every month. Regardless of whether or not you use direct deposit and how many times you process payroll.

 

You can get more details about the following resources. You'll find lists of payroll pricing and a chart to compare their features as well as steps to check your statements:

I just got an email about the $2.00 charge per month per employee for payroll.  When I purchased Desktop Pro with Enhanced Payroll I believe the first four employees were supposed to be free.  We only have four employees.  Will I be charged?  I've looked back and I cannot find anything regarding the first few employees being free.

Hi there, @Riti32. 

 

Thanks for following the thread and sharing your concerns. 

 

I recommend contacting our Payroll Support Team to see if this was a promotion offered to you when you first signed up. If so, it could be possible that the promotion has timed out and that's why you're seeing the $2 fee per employee. You can use the link I've included below to connect with an agent directly. 

 

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I'm always around to lend a hand. Take care!

I'm hoping this comment reaches the decision makers for QB Enhanced Payroll for Accountants.  

I've used QB for many, many years, and I am appalled at the increase of the payroll fees doubling because some customers have misused the payroll software.   To pay $1400 to renew, when I was paying $700 the last 2 years is unfair to those of us who abide by the rules of use.  In addition, to also implement the forceable upgrades at an additional cost is just forcing existing customers to look elsewhere for other options.

Is there a per employee monthly fee with QB Enterprise?

December 24, 2024

Thanks for joining the Community and getting involved with this thread, 9341453273124644.

 

If you're using a QuickBooks Payroll Enhanced subscription, there are per employee fees for active employees.

 

You can refer to our Understand changes to QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Basic & Standard article for current fees for active employees under this type of subscription.

 

Please don't hesitate to send a reply if there's any additional questions. Have an awesome Tuesday!
