Unscheduled payroll error saying I need to setup employees in employee centre

gabeCkelowna · ‎April 19, 2024

We have been running payroll for for a couple of years out of quickbooks with no issues but after an update we went to do an unscheduled payroll and we got the error message "you need to set up employees before you pay them". The only option at that point is to go to the employee centre where we already have all of our employees set up?
