QuickBooks Workforce is a great way for your employees to have access to their pay stubs and W-2s any time they need. Each time you run payroll, they’ll get an email letting them know their pay stubs are available to view and print. They can also view and print their own W-2s at tax time.

Step 1: Turn on QuickBooks Workforce and invite your employees

- 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, then 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. This should be the person who owns the QuickBooks Payroll license.

Invite your new employee
- Select Employees, then Employee Center.
- Select Add New and add your new employee. Make sure to add their email address in the Address and Contact tab.

Step 2: Upload paychecks and W-2s
You’ll need to upload paychecks after each payroll so your employees can access them in QuickBooks Workforce. In January, you’ll also need to upload your W-2s.
What happens next
Your employee will receive an email with a link to set up and use QuickBooks Workforce to add their personal info (if you selected this option) and view their pay stubs and W-2s.
Once an employee accepts the invitation in the email, they’ll be able to create their own Intuit account. This allows them to manage their own user ID, personal settings, and security info.
