Time-saving change coming for QuickBooks Payroll customers

An important change is coming to your QuickBooks Payroll Service in September. This is good news for current QuickBooks customers, and anyone thinking about implementing QuickBooks Payroll for their business.

To save you time and give your employees electronic access to their pay information, Intuit will be turning Workforce on automatically to give employees greater access to their pay, banking, and employment information. Intuit says it expects to begin inviting employees to Workforce on or around September 20, 2021.

Software License Agreement changes

The Workforce terms have been updated in the QuickBooks License Agreement to include new information regarding the change in the service. View the QuickBooks legal notices page to find your software license agreement.

Changes will save payroll managers time

Instead of you having to manually invite employees to Workforce, Intuit will automatically invite employees to create a Workforce account. Employees will be invited using their contact information from QuickBooks Payroll. Current employees who are set to “active” and getting paid will be invited first, and when you add new employees, they'll receive automatic invitations.

This change will allow employees to view, edit, and manage their personal, banking, and payroll withholding information, keep on top of their pay details, and access important documents like paystubs or W-2 tax forms.

There is no additional cost for you or your employees to use Workforce.

How do I make sure employees get their invitations?

To ensure your employees get their Workforce invitations, include email contact information each time you add a new employee and review your existing employees' contact information to make sure it is up to date.

Will my employee data stay up to date?

Whether employees set up their own account or edit their information, or you enter and edit their info yourself, employee data will remain up to date.

Intuit will send invitations to employees automatically and tell them everything they need to know.
