Join nowIf I try to show inactive (or all) employees, I get the message:
We're having some trouble on our end.Give us a few minutes and come back.
... even if I come back later.
I can help you create a new employee, briank5.
We can look into the inactive employees if there are SSN that is similar to the new one you'll be creating. Then, we can edit the SSN to a different one. I'll show you how:
After that, we'll enter the SSN of the new employee. If you get the same thing, stored cache files might have caused unexpected behavior and error. We can verify that by logging into a private browser since they don't store cache files. Then, enter the new employee and see if you still get the error. If everything looks fine, we can refresh the system by going back to the main browser and clearing its cache. You can also use other supported browsers like Google Chrome Internet Explorer, or Mozilla Firefox that can help us get rid of the behavior.
Keep me posted on how this works. You take always and have a nice day!
Hi Catherine. QBO will not allow me to follow the procedure you suggest. Selecting Inactive Employees generates the following error:
I have tried coming back later, logging out, clearing the cache, and logging in from an anonymous session and nothing helps.
I appreciate you performing some troubleshooting steps to resolve the error, briank5.
At this time, I'd recommend reaching out to our Phone Support team. An agent can do a screen share with you so this will be further investigated.
Here's how to contact them:
Once everything's fine, let's try editing your employee's SSN again. Feel free to follow the steps shared by Catherine_B.
Don't hesitate to get back to me if you still need help. Keep safe!
