As a firm processing quarterly payroll for multiple clients, this new birthdate requirement makes no sense. The EMPLOYER is tasked with keeping essential employee records (w-4, I-9, etc) However, to process a quarterly payroll this information is just not necessary. We simply need employee name, address and social security number in order to file 941's and unemployment returns. The option to turn this off should be available, if not across all QB product versions, at the very least make this available for the Accountant version. It is completely unacceptable that I cannot move through the New Employee input screen without adding the birthdate... this is information I have not received from the employer. I will be using a random date. Please address this!
