Does Quickbooks PayRoll generate an Employee ID when a new employee is added to payroll?

I’m here to share some insights with you concerning employees ID in QuickBooks, @userruth.

You’ve mentioned “like other employees,” do you have other users working on your QuickBooks Online account?

Employee information is entered manually in the program. This is also the same with their IDs. When adding a new employee to your list, you’ll have to enter their ID number by hand since QuickBooks unable to generate this detail automatically.

You can ask your team regarding this matter or visit the Audit log to check who added this information. Let me show you how:

1. Select the Gear icon.
2. Choose Audit log under Tools.
3. Click Filter, and make sure it is set to All Users.
4. Mark the List option and then hit Apply.
   
5. Locate the event.
6. Press View to determine who add or made the change.
   

Here's how to modify and finish setting up your employees to your payroll. It contains helpful links and complete instructions to help you organize their info.

Just let me know if you have other payroll questions or concerns. I’m always here to lend a hand. Keep safe!

I am asking about whether or not QuickBooks automatically generates a payroll ID in quickbooks online when an employee is added

Thank you for getting back to this thread, @userruth.

As mentioned above, QuickBooks Online doesn't automatically generate a payroll ID once an employee is added to your payroll account. 

If you're referring to the Employee ID in your employee's information, you can follow the steps that were shared above to add this information.

For more details in changing an existing employee’s info, see Edit or change employee info in payroll.
