I have a task notification on the dashboard that states "Finish setting up payroll Let's go". The client currently has no employees. How do I get rid of the task?

I’m happy to see you in the Online Community, Neeterbooks.

I’d be glad to clarify why you’re seeing the task reminder in your Dashboard.

This can happen when the Payroll feature is turned on and have initially set it up. The reminder will show if you have transactions or activities that need your attention such as payroll set up, payroll tax forms or payments due, recurring template reminders, etc.

Since your client doesn’t have employees, they have the option to cancel the payroll service or finish the setup process to remove the task. Let me walk you through on how to enter the employee's information.

Here's how:

1. Go to Workers from the navigational menu, then select Employees.
2. Choose Get set up to begin the setup process.
3. Enter the company and employee information.  
4. Use our Getting Started with Payroll tutorial page to help you with the setup process.

That'll do it. The information I provided should help you moving forward.

Keep me posted if you have concerns while working in QBO. I'll be here to help. Have a great day ahead.
