Hello there, @kthailey.

 

When the employee accepted your invitation to Workforce, their Intuit account was also created. Thus, if they need to update their email address, they can do it on their end. Then, you can just update their email on your record, so they can receive their future pay stubs in their Workforce account.

 

Please have your employee follow the steps in this article: How to change the user ID or email address for QuickBooks Workforce. After that, you can update your employee's email in QuickBooks.

 

Let me add this link on how to invite employees to see pay stubs and W-2s online: Invite your employees to QuickBooks Workforce to see pay stubs and W-2.

Inviting an employee to workforce and fixing an incorrect email address

Hello,

I am having the same problem. The email address was originally entered incorrectly. The employee can't access the email because they never received it. I changed their address in their employee account. When I log into "Manage Payroll Cloud Services" the original email is still there and I can't change it. 

 

Could you give me the steps to change the email address in the Pay cloud services?

 

Thanks.

Thank you for posting your concern here in the Community, @Lhomecare.

 

I'm here to help make sure you can view your pay stub in QuickBooks Workforce.

 

Based on the screenshot you've shared, you don't have a QuickBooks Workforce account yet. You'll need to contact your employer and let them send an invitation. 

 

Once done, you can go to your email and accept the invitation. This way, you can create your QuickBooks Workforce account. For more guidance, feel free to read this article: Set up your QuickBooks Workforce account.

 

After setting up the account, you can now sign in to workforce.intuit.com using your email address and password. From the dashboard, you can select Paycheck to view your pay stub.

 

You can also view your W-2 information in QuickBooks Workforce. This article will guide you through the steps: View your paychecks and W-2s in QuickBooks Workforce.

 

Wishing you all the best, @Lhomecare. Please know you can continue to reach me here with any additional questions. Thanks for coming to the Community.

I'm having the same issue. Employee's email was entered incorrectly but notes "invited" in workforce. Of course, employee did not receive this info. I've revised the email in Employee info but corrected email is not showing in workforce so that I can (re)invite. Please advise

Inviting an employee to workforce and fixing an incorrect email address

I want to make sure you can invite your employee to the QuickBooks Workforce, @Horton2.

 

Since the email was entered incorrectly, you'll want to cancel the invitation and resend it again. Here's how:

 

  1. Open your QuickBooks Desktop company file.
  2. Go to the Employees menu, then select Payroll Setup.
  3. From the Employee list, click the drop-down under Action. Then, choose the option to cancel.
  4. Once done, close the setup window. The Invite page should show, then process the invitation again.

 

If the invite page doesn’t load, it might be a setting on your browser stopping it. In a couple of clicks, you can turn on ActiveX filtering. Then refresh the page, and you should be good to go.

 

If you get the same result, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Support Team. This way, they can further check on this matter and provide additional troubleshooting steps to get this resolved.

 

Once your employees already have their workforce account, you might want to provide this article to your employees: View your paychecks and W-2s in QuickBooks Workforce. This will help them see their paychecks, W-2s, and personal info in Workforce.

 

Keep in touch if you need more assistance inviting your employees to workforce. I'm still open to your replies, @Horton2.

So it's been a year, this bug still hasn't been fixed.

 

Why do you allow users to change their email if it doesn't update on the employer side?

Inviting an employee to workforce and fixing an incorrect email address

Thanks for following this thread, @FrankBurns4077. The contractors have their QuickBooks accounts where they can update their email addresses.  

 

Since the contractors' emails aren't updated on your end, I'd suggest you contact our Customer Care team to help you check what's causing this to happen. 

 

For future reference, read through this article: How to change the user ID or email address for QuickBooks Workforce.

 

Get back to us if you have additional questions. We'll be here to guide you more.

I am having the same issue.  I have several that have a symbol in the place of the email address.  Every time I try to update it it doesn't updated it.  I have tried numerous times and cannot get it to send or update.

Please advise me how to fix this issue.

thanks!

Inviting an employee to workforce and fixing an incorrect email address

Thanks for joining this thread, kimvhs.

 

Let me help update the employee's email address and send an invitation to access QuickBooks Workforce. We can start by downloading the newest payroll tax table in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

 

Once done, cancel the access of the employee in QuickBooks Desktop. Here's how:

 

  1. Select Employees, then Payroll Setup.
  2. From the Employee list, under Action, select the drop-down, and choose the option to cancel.
  3. When finished, close the setup window.

 

Then, you can edit the email address by following these steps:

 

  1. Select Employees, then Employee Center.
  2. Double-click the employee’s name you want to edit.
  3. Make changes to the email address, then click OK.
     

After that, you can send an invitation to the employee. Here are the steps:
 

  1. From the Employees menu, select Manage Payroll Cloud Services.
  2. If you don’t see Manage Payroll Cloud Services, update your QuickBooks.
  3. Under QuickBooks Workforce, toggle the status to ON, then select Invite Employees.
    QBWF
  4. Your employee list will appear. Select the employees you need to give access to, then add their email addresses.
  5. If the invite page doesn’t load, make sure to turn on ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer.
  6. Click Send Invite. Once send the invite, you should see Invited under STATUS.

 

If your employee is unable to find their invite, try these options:

 

  1. Check their spam or junk folder.
  2. Make sure their email address is correct.
  3. Try resending the invitation again.

 

If you're still unable to update the email address, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Team. That way, they can pull up your account and check what's causing the symbol to show up on the Email Address field.

 

Learn more about the process through this article: Invite your employees to QuickBooks Workforce. It explains how you can set up employees to view their paychecks online.

Hi, I updated the employee email multiple times. It went back to old one. I talked to human rep 3 times. and my employee talked to human together. It did not go anywhere. It just went to old email address. I followed all the steps. I think it is a bug.

Inviting an employee to workforce and fixing an incorrect email address

I can share some information that can help you with updating the email address of your employee, @NfofsAdmin.

 

You can update the email address from the Employees menu from your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) account. Then, resend them the invitation to access the payroll cloud service or the QuickBooks Workforce.

 

If you've initially sent an invitation, here's how to cancel the invitation:

 

  1. Go to the Employees menu and select Payroll Setup.
  2. From the employee list, select the dropdown under Action, and choose the option to cancel.
  3. Once done, close the setup window.

 

To update the email address:

 

  1. Go to the Employees menu and then select Employee Center.
  2. Double-click the employee's profile.
  3. Choose the Address & Contact tab and update the email address from there.
  4. When you're done, click OK.

 

For more information about updating your employee's information, feel free to visit this article: Edit or change employee info in payroll.

 

You can now invite your employees to QuickBooks Workforce to see pay stubs and W-2s if you use QuickBooks Deskto... with the updated email address. 

 

You can then provide your employee the following article to show them how to set up their QuickBooks Workforce account so they can check their pay stubs, W-2s, and more: Set up your QuickBooks Workforce account.

  

Let me know if you have additional questions about updating the email address of your employee. I'm always here ready to help. Take care, and have a great day.

Inviting an employee to workforce and fixing an incorrect email address

I've tried to follow the steps in the payroll setup, but there is no cancel button under the action tab, only an edit option.  I've edited the employee's email address and completed the setup, but when I log back into Workforce to invite him, the old incorrect email is still in there.  This employee has never set up a Worforce account.  How do we fix it so he receives an invite email?
