Reactivate employee on payroll

Hi there, @stevetx. 

Thanks for visiting the Community today. I'm here to guide you on how to reactivate your employee in QuickBooks Online. 

Here's how: 

1. In the Workers tab from the left menu, select Employees.
2. Click the Employees list drop-down, then choose Inactive employees. 
3. Select the inactive employee, then click the Edit (Pencil) icon in the Employment section.
4. In the Status drop-down, click Active.
5. Click Done. 

You can now include this employee on your payroll when creating paychecks. 

Here's an article that will help you with adding paycheck deductions or contributions should you need to in the future: Add or edit a deduction or contribution.

Let me know if you have more questions. We're always happy to assist.
