No. If you already have STP 2 enabled with QuickBooks Payroll there is nothing you need to do.

Despite the name change, the software ID will remain the same - maintaining your STP connection.

We work closely with Employment Hero on evolving the Payroll product to solve the most important problems facing our customers. We don’t comment on the strategy of Employment Hero.

While QuickBooks Payroll will soon be updated to reflect the refreshed branding, there will be no other changes or additions like employee management to the functionality or product. Everything our customers know and love about QB Payroll will remain the same
