We are using Quick books time. We have a large number of projects and people, so hand entering is not an option.

THIS IS BULLS**!!! OTHER AMONG MANY QB FLAWS.  QB DOES NOT KNOW THE EMPLOYEE BASE OF OUR EMPLOYEES AND THIS SHOULD BE AN OPT OUT.  QB DRIVES ME FURTHER AWAY.  BULLS**T BULLS**T.  YOUR ENHANCEMENT ARE CRAP.  YOU ARE MAKING THE PROGRAM WORSE AND NOT IMPROVING!!!

I cant set up an employee without an email.  I am a service company with an employee who cant read and write.  This is a crappy option.  You idiots should set up as an opt in not mandatory.  ding ding idiots!

Just trying to help here.....

Exactly what QB are you using?

We're talking about Desktop and you can create a new employee without an email.  I just did it (attaching a screen shot) - You DO have to have a social security number - the items marked with a red asterisk are required.

But those are basic things for a US employee - name, address, social, birthday, hire date.

I'm confused about exactly what you are experiencing.

Click on employees tab then manage payroll cloud services then click status to off for QB workforce. I use desktop. May be different for online.
