Can I reimburse employees for business expenses electronically if I am not using QBO Payroll?

Good day, Kristi.

The option to reimburse employees electronically without using QuickBooks Online Payroll is unavailable in the program.

For now, you can look for any third-party payment services that integrate with QuickBooks to reimburse them using ACH or Direct Deposit.

Here's how:

1. On your QuickBooks Online account, navigate to the Apps menu from the left navigation panel.
2. Go to the Find apps tab.
3. Enter a keyword in the Search field.
4. Choose an app.
5. Review the features, then click Get app now.

Alternatively, you can issue a check within QuickBooks and manually compensate your employees outside the program.

Additionally, we offer other online services designed to manage business expenses within QuickBooks. One such service is QuickBooks Bill Pay, which allows you to schedule online bill payments and process them using ACH payments.

To utilize this feature, you need to set up a vendor profile for your employee. Afterward, create a bill and refer to the steps outlined in this article to schedule the bill payment effectively.  How to use QuickBooks Bill Pay for QuickBooks Online.

Do you want to keep track of your bill payments? In QuickBooks, you can generate reports and customize them to show specific information according to your business needs.

You can use a free billing management app to sync with QBO paying your reimbursements to employees by ACH for free. You don't need to have any payroll app to do so.
