How to merge employees

SOLVED•by QuickBooks•8•Updated 2 days ago

To merge one employee record into another, you simply have to edit the Display name as field of the employee you want to remove to exactly match the employee you wish to keep.

Warning

Merging can't be undone. You cannot merge employee records if they have payroll active. When you merge a list element into another one, you are deleting it from the database completely. Since the list element is not deleted until the nightly rebuild, the merged employee only appears after it is done.

Go to Payroll, then select Employees (Take me there).
Select the employee name you want to remove, then select Edit from the Action column.
Change the First name and Last name fields to exactly match the employee you wish to keep.
Change the Display Name to match the original name.
Select Save and close.
Select Yes to confirm that you want to merge the two employees.

Now you're able to successfully merge employees.
