Batch edits for pay

simon9 · ‎November 16, 2021

With the recent minimum wag hike I had to go into every employee and change their pay rate, there isn't a way to edit multiple employees at once. I now have a new pay type to add but the link gives a 404 error when I go into the employee edit area to create a new pay type.

Does anyone know of accounting software that allows batch editing? I need to move from QB before another minimum wage hike comes in the new year if QB can't do it.

BTW I was in 5 different chats with "support" today and they were less than useless in knowing why the error occurred or even how to implement batch editing which one person said was "SLIGHTLY IMPLEMENTED" whatever that is supposed to mean.

How do companies with hundreds of employees manage? I am guessing not with QB.

Hi simon9,

Thank you for reaching out to Community. I can understand the significant benefit of having the ability to update several employees wages in one batch. However, at this time, QuickBooks Online Payroll doesn't have the option for this due to the fact that each employee is setup with specific elements. I'd encourage you to reach out to our Development Team with your recommendation to have this feature available in the future. You can provide your suggestions through the feedback option within your account.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please reach back out. We'd be glad to help!

I have recommended this countless times over the 4 years we have used your product to no avail. It is obvious you have no intention of addressing this issue.

Hi simon9,

We appreciate you taking the time to submit your suggestions and recommendations to our Development Team. Although the process may seem to be unrecognized, new features and improvements to existing ones are definitely under review, and we hope to incorporate them once they've been perfected. We encourage you to continue to provide us with any feedback you may have, to improve your overall customer experience with QuickBooks Online.

Take care and enjoy the rest of your day!

This is ridiculous. It's 2023. Batch editing allows multiple employees boxes to be checked and apply the same change to all affected employees. Same concept as deleting 3 emails at once. Super, super disappointing and stupid. Shame on Quickbooks.
