Learn how to set up your new employee in QuickBooks Online Payroll and QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.
Congratulations on gaining a new employee!
Before adding your employee in QuickBooks Payroll, Get your employee’s info such as TD 1 info and banking details.
If you need to change an existing employee’s info, see Edit or change employee info in payroll instead.
Step 1: Add your employee
Note: Not sure which payroll service you have? Here's how to find your payroll service. |
Step 2: Complete the new province setup if you added an employee who lives/works in another province
If you received an email with the subject New info needed for company tax setup, or your employee lives and/or works in a different province from where your business is located, you may need to set up and pay taxes in that province.
Get employee info
- TD-1 Form: Personal Tax Credits Return of personal data such as name, address, Social Insurance number, dependents and adjustments. Your employees can enter this info when you invite them, but you are required to keep a copy of this for your records.
- Email address: Send your employees an invite to add their personal info and have access to their pay stubs and T4s/Relevé-1s online.
- Work location: The address where your employee works.
- Pay info: Employee’s salary or pay rate, other pay types, as well as pay schedule (how often you'll pay them)
- Direct deposit info: Employee’s bank routing number and account number. Employees can add up to 2 bank accounts.
- Pay history: This only applies if you're setting up your QuickBooks payroll service for the first time. If that's true, and you've paid your employees already this year, you’ll need their year-to-date pay stubs so that you can have accurate year-end totals for taxes, etc. We'll walk you through this, but be sure you have this info.
