Find out what to do if you receive a NOC email from Intuit QuickBooks Workforce or QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

We get a Notice of Change (NOC) from your employee’s bank when their bank info is wrong. Your employee still gets paid with a NOC because the bank found the correct info. But they send us the notice to let us know the info needs to be changed. We then send the NOC to you.

Here are NOC codes and the steps you need to do.

Step 1: Get your NOC code

Look for the NOC email from us. Take note of the NOC code and bank info that needs to be fixed. You’ll use it in Step 2 and 3.

Code	Definition
C01	Incorrect account number
C02	Incorrect routing number
C03	Incorrect routing and account number
C04	Incorrect employee name
C05	Incorrect transaction code (account type checking or savings is wrong)
C06	Incorrect account number and transaction code
C07	Incorrect routing number, account number, and transaction code

Step 2: Get the correct account info from your employee

Ask your employee for the correct info based on the NOC code. If the info in QuickBooks matches the info your employee provided, have them contact their bank to verify their bank info.

You can also contact their bank. Ask to speak with the Automated Clearing House (ACH) department. Have them check the routing, account number, and account type.

Step 3: Fix your employee’s bank info

Once you have the correct bank info, make sure to update it in QuickBooks before you run your next payroll.
