I'd like to know the same thing. It's pretty bad that QB would just assume that we all pay online. We pay by checks. At least give us the option to set "Make a payment" as our own default.
Id like to know how you pay employees who are not on a regular schedule. We pay by piecework and our job ends when the work is complete. We never have a regular payday. I have tried everything and the only resolution I found is to manually figure the deductions, then enter the employees as a vendor. What's the purpose of paying QB hundreds of dollars for a payroll system that only works if you fit into their little cookie cutter world?
