I appreciate you posting your concern here in the Community, chris62.

 

Let me share information to help your contractor access their Workforce account.

 

Since your contractors cannot open their Workforce account, please ensure to follow these guidelines to troubleshoot related issues:

 

  • Provide the same email address to the employer if they already have a QuickBooks Workforce account from a different employer.
  • Utilize a different email address for the QuickBooks Workforce account if they have QuickBooks Online. They can use their work email address for QuickBooks Online while their personal email for Workforce.
  • The invite is only valid for 30 days. Hence, you'll need to resent the invitation when it's been longer than the given timeframe.
  • Open the most recent invite if employers resend the invitation.

 

If the same issue persists, here's how you can revoke their Workforce access to invite them again:

 

  1. Head to Payroll, then Employees.
  2. Locate and select the employee.
  3. Click Action, then choose to Turn off Workforce access.
  4. Select Confirm.

 

After that, you can refer to this article to resend the invitation: Resend an invitation to QuickBooks Workforce to view their pay stubs and W-2s.

 

However, you can proceed to these steps if you mean resetting Workforce log in credentials:

 

  1. Visit this page: QuickBooks Workforce.
  2. Click on I forgot my user ID or password.
  3. Utilize the email address used by the employer during the first sign-up.
  4. Select Reset password once you receive an account recovery email.
