Set up and invite a new employee

Note: If your employee has access to your QuickBooks Online account, make sure they use a different email for Workforce than the one they use to sign in to QuickBooks Online.

1. Go to Payroll and select Employees (Take me there).
2. Select Add an employee.
3. Add your employee’s First name, Last name, Email, and Hire date. This will automatically invite your employee to see their pay stubs and T4s as well as Relevé-1s.
4. If you want your new employee to add their personal info, turn on the Employee self-setup switch.
5. Select Continue.

What happens next

Your employee will receive an email with a link to set up and use QuickBooks Workforce. Once set up, they can add their personal info (if you selected this option) and view their pay stubs, T4s, and RL-1s.

Once an employee accepts the invitation in the email, they’ll be able to create their own Intuit account. This allows them to manage their own user ID, personal settings, and security info.

You and your employee can also upload profile pictures:

• Only one picture will be saved and will override previously uploaded pictures.
• Note that we do not monitor the content of the photo.

To see the status of your employee’s setup, select Payroll, then Employees. Your employee list shows the status.
