Hi there,
Welcome to the Community. It's important you're able import employees and I'd be happy to share more info on this.
At this time, the ability to import employees into QBO is unavailable. I know how vital this feature is for your business and I recommend you to send feedback about this to our engineers. You can do this by clicking the Gear icon and looking for Feedback. Product ideas and changes are based on the feedback we get from users like you.
Let me know if this helps! In case you need further assistance, feel free to contact our support team using this link here.
