Thank you but that is not the issues I was referring to. 

The problem is that Intuit payroll is lacking very basic internal controls with their payroll direct deposit activities. 

We need some form of transaction or activity record showing where each Intuit payroll direct deposit was sent.  

Just like if I arrange for my employees to get paid by manual checks, I can easily tell from my bank statement which check payment has cleared or still outstanding, and if a check has cleared, I can easily look at cancelled checks or even reach out to my bank to find out where the funds have been deposited. This way there is no dispute if an employee claims to have NOT received his paycheck.

But if I use Intuit direct deposit service, there is simply no report and no way for the employer to verify which employee has received his direct deposit and which one has not. 

I had reached out to the support department and nobody seems to know how the employer can verify direct deposit activities. 

If you can just answer this question:  say I have 10 employees all getting paid the same net amount on a payroll run.  If I arrange 10 direct deposits to go out for my employees paychecks, but I only see 9 withdrawals from my bank, how do I know which employee has not received his direct deposit?  CAn you tell me what does an employer do  under this scenario without having to ask Intuit to open a full blown investigation as to which employee did not get paid?   

If you can ignore everything I wrote here and just answer my question in bold above, that would be very helpful. 

Thanks

I hear your sentiments, @NewUser2023.

I know how helpful it is to have control over your payroll direct deposit activities. QuickBooks Online Payroll has a column to show the status of paychecks processed through Direct Deposit. You can simply follow the steps below to verify which employees have or have not paid.

1. Open your QuickBooks account.
2. Go to your Payroll menu.
3. Select Employees.
4. Click Paycheck List.
5. When hovering over the status, you’ll see an explanation pop-up box that contains descriptions. These are the following:
   
   
   • Scheduled: We have everything we need to send this check to the bank and pay this employee. Need to make changes? Select the net pay amount before PT to modify or delete the payroll.
   • Processed: We already sent this employee’s paycheck info to the bank and aren’t able to make any more changes. This employee will be paid by the end of the day on < date>.
   • Returned: We ran into a problem with this employee’s bank account and couldn’t pay them via direct deposit. Watch your email for details on when we’ll return these funds to your bank account. Be sure to void this check and either create a new one after correcting the employee’s bank account information or set the pay method to paper check.
   • Canceled: Direct Deposit was not included for this paycheck.

You can also run the Payroll History report to view information about your employees’ paycheck status.
