I use QBE desktop. I have an employee that is trying to view his paycheck and received the following:

"We can't sign you in. Your employer has adjusted your access to Workforce. You'll need to reach out to them to regain access." I ran payroll as usual. What do I need to do so that my employee can see his paycheck?

Hi DanaH1. This error is something our phone support team will need to address. I advise you reach out as soon as you can to have one of our agents get on the issue for you.

I have the same issue. When I call the number you listed, it's a recording that says the only way to contact help is through Quuckbooks.

Is there a number to call where someone will actually answer and help?

Hello, @khigley.

I'll make sure that you log in to QuickBooks Workforce.

I've reviewed our ongoing/solved investigations and can confirm there's currently no records of subscribers reporting that their employees are receiving error messages when trying to sign up for and/or use QuickBooks Workforce.

Since your workers are encountering such errors, I'd recommend getting in touch with our Customer Care team directly. They'll be able to pull up the account in a secure environment, conduct further research, and create an investigation ticket if necessary.

They can be reached while using QuickBooks.

Here's how:

In your top menu bar, go to Help, then QuickBooks Desktop Help.
Click Contact Us.
Enter a brief description of the issue in our Ask a question (or tell us what's wrong) field.
Hit Continue.
Select We’ll contact you for a callback or Message Us to start an instant messaging session.

I have the same error as an employee. Would you please fix this for me? I need to share my paystubs to keep receiving my Social Security Disability, this kinda throws a hitch in things.

Hello there, shelbyKiraM.

I understand how important it is to have access to QuickBooks Workforce. This enables you to continue viewing your pay stubs.

The message indicates that your account has been revoked. I recommend contacting your employer for further assistance to move past the error. Make sure to ask them to send the QuickBooks Workforce invitation again. Then, follow the steps to log in to the account.

To keep your Workforce information up-to-date, you can modify them anytime. For detailed instructions, see this article: How to change the user id or email address for QuickBooks Workforce.

Feel free to return to the Community if you have more questions about managing your Workforce account. I'd be glad to help you some more. Take care always.

I run MANY payrolls for my clients using Quickbooks since before there was even a version number. This Workforce product has been an issue since it came out. The idea is Great, the execution is not great. So now Intuit is blaming the employer for revoking the employee's access. This is totally wrong on many levels. Maybe if Intuit would tell us how we're doing that, it might help. But, you took away our access to create employer reports within Workforce years ago.

So in the last 3-4 weeks there has been a major uptake in employees having issues. Stop blaming the employers and please give us some real information to help the people that make our businesses run. It's already hard enough to get and keep good staff, you are not helping. Please be part of the solution.

I have details to share about this error to help you move forward, Karen.

The investigation for this error "We can't sign you in. Your employer has adjusted your access to Workforce. You'll need to reach out to them to regain access" when logging in to QuickBooks Workforce has been tagged as closed and resolved in our records.

This means that our engineers was able to sort this out and deploy a fix. Users have also reported to successfully logged in and view their payroll information.

Can you tell us if only a specific employee is unable to access or all of them? If all employees are getting the same error message, I would recommend reaching out to our support team.

They can review the employee's records to identify the cause of the error and ensure they have access to their account to view their paystubs.

The most confusing part, to me, is that my boss already had invited me & I was able to view the paystubs for some time, but now it's been several months that I haven't been able to. I was already invited for sure. Did he change something or is it my fault? Or is it some bug in the software?

Let me help you ensure you'll able to view and access your Workforce account, Shelby.

Beforehand, may I know if you've received any errors when accessing your account? Were you able to successfully log in using your valid credentials? You can also share screenshots to help us ensure we've got the right details about your concern.

When working with your QuickBooks tasks, sometimes stored cache files can cause interruptions within the program. We can perform some troubleshooting steps to help rectify the possibility of a webpage issue. You'll need to access your Workforce account in a private browser to ensure the program runs seamlessly without storing cached data. Sign in to your account through this link: workforce.intuit.com.

You may use these keyboard shortcuts:

For Google Chrome browser: Ctrl + Shift + N
For Mozilla Firefox browser: Ctrl + Shift + P
For Safari browser: Command + Shift + N

If this information is populating successfully, you may go back to your default browser and clear its cache or use a different supported browser. However, if you're still unable to access your account, I suggest reaching out to your employer and informing them to resend the invitation again. Here's how:

Sign into QuickBooks Desktop as the QuickBooks Administrator.
Select Employees and click Employee Center.
Double-click your first employee you want to invite.
From the Address and Contact tab, add their email address. Select Ok.
Repeat steps 3-4 for all employees you want to invite.
Select Employees and click Manage Payroll Cloud Services. If you don’t see Manage Payroll Cloud Services, update QuickBooks.
From QuickBooks Workforce, turn the status On. Then, select Invite Employees.
Sign in with your Intuit Account.
Select the employees to add to Workforce, then add their email addresses.
Select Send Invite. Once sent, you should see Invited in the Status column.

Moreover, you can visit this reference to learn more about accessing paychecks using QuickBooks Workforce: View your pay stubs, time off, and year-to-date pay in QuickBooks Workforce.

Please keep us posted if you require additional assistance managing your Workforce account. We'll be around to provide further help. Keep safe!

When are they going to fix this? We are on QB online payroll and several of our employees are getting this message. I went in and removed them from Workforce and then resent the invitation and my folks are still getting the message

We Can't sign you in.

Sadly this does not fix the ongoing issue. Why does this keep happening to so many users? If you research the past threads you will see this is happening to many companies that use QB online payroll. Rather than keep sending people to get help....why not fix the issue so that it stops happening to innocent people/

This has always been a problem. We have been trying for three years to get this to work. My advice? Forget asking for help. They have no clue. Just print your Ws-2. This is SOP for Intuit. It's outrageous that a company of Intuit's size, especially with their flagship product, QB Enterprise, continues to publish error-prone software. (There are other bugs we experience that they have proven completely unable to solve.) One more piece of advice: when an upgrade is published, wait a couple of months before installing it. The upgrades usually come with bugs that Intuit relies on their customers to find.
