We have an employee that was once a contractor. They have been made an employee for sometime now. I have tried to remove them as a contractor however, when doing so it removes them from the workforce as employee and does not show up on "Approve Time" as an employee. Any ideas on how to navigate and fix the issue?

Hi there,

 

Let me provide some information about QuickBooks Workforce and how it handles employees and contractors.

 

Before anything else, I'd like to ensure we're on the same page about your concern. It would be helpful if you could walk me through your specific process for removing a contractor in QuickBooks. You could also let me know if you encountered any error messages during this process, as well as attach relevant screenshots to your reply.

QuickBooks Workforce allows employees to access and view their pay stubs, time off, W-2s, and track their time. This feature is exclusive to employees, while you can invite contractors to add their tax information to QuickBooks itself. If you need to remove a contractor, you can make them inactive without affecting your employees in Workforce.

 

At the moment, you can resend an invitation to your employees to Workforce once they get removed in the process of clearing a contractor. Here's how:

 

  1. On the left navigation panel, click Payroll.
  2. On the Employees tab, select the employee.
  3. Beside Pay and tax docs, click Send reminder.
  4. Check the email address, then press Send reminder. The employee will receive a new invitation.
