How long does it take to resolve a "payroll fruad" hold on our account? We have submitted all documents, it has been over a week and we can't get it resolved.

This isn't the kind of situation we want you to experience. Rest assured, I’ll take note of this feedback and raise this concern with our management team. Your voice is important to us to ensure we give our users the quality service they deserve, rachel-gathergri.

We appreciate you for submitting the required documents and contacting our support agent. The Non-Sufficient Funds hold is the most common term used for payroll accounts that are placed on hold. This happens when the bank account used to process the payroll didn't have enough funds to debit. You can check out this article for more details: Why is my Payroll Service on Hold?

I know you already contacted us, however, the best option to know the status of this one is to reach out again to our Payroll Support Team. Just provide the case number to the support agent for them to review the case. From there, they'll provide you the time frame of this case. Here's how: 

1. Go to Help.
2. Select Search.
3. Click Contact Us.
4. Enter Payroll account is placed on hold in the What can we help you with? text area.
5. Select Continue.
6. Click Chat with us or Have us call you.

I want to include that reaching out to our Customer Care Support is best during business hours from 6 AM-6 PM PT Mondays-Fridays. Use this article to learn more: QuickBooks Online Payroll Support.
