Pension Opting Out

Hello Sharkbait365,

What version of payroll are you using? QuickBooks Payroll or Paysuite? Are you not given the option to opt out?

Thanks,

Talia

Hi - it is Quickbooks online.  But I managed to sort it in the employee section, rather than the payroll, so am all good.  Thanks for your reply!

Hi, 

How do you opt them out as I also need to do this for one of our employees?

Hi Liz

Thanks for reaching to the Community

We can go though this with you we just need to know which payroll are you using Paysuite,Standard or Advanced?

I would like to know how to do this as well, using standard payroll.

Hi,

I don't have the option to turn the payroll off. The QB help was useless, so all I could do for now was to postpone until I figure out how to turn it off. As a one-man-band company, you are not classed as an employer for pension purposes and, therefore, there is no need for auto-enrollment. I find what should be a simple and straight forward payroll set up a very painful experience. 

Hi RutaG,

We're unable to turn off the payroll function in QuickBooks Online. You can stop running payroll or creating paychecks, so you won't have any payroll charges.

I know its easier to just have an option to turn it off to make sure you'll not acquire any charges at all. I'm bringing this idea to our product engineers, so they can consider adding it in future updates. 

Please don't hesitate to go back to this thread if you have other payroll questions in the future.
