I'm here to help set up your payroll in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
There are three versions of payroll for QBO UK:
Standard Payroll
Advanced Payroll
PaySuite.
Let's turn on this service if you're using the Standard Payroll. To do so, please follow the steps outlined below:
Log in to your account, then select Employees.
Click Choose your plan.
From the QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll option, select Get Started.
Go to Employees, then select Get set up to run payroll. This will also help you make changes once you've finished the basic setup.
To complete the setup, feel free to read through this page: QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll Hub. Then, go to the Set up payroll section and follow each link for more details. Those links will also help you manage employees, run payroll, submit returns, and generate payroll reports.
However, you can refer to these articles if you choose the PaySuite or Advanced payroll:
