Employee Names NOT UPDATING properly ever since we canceled QBO payroll!
Ever since we canceled our short lived trial period with QBO payroll, I have noticed that employee name updates or general info updates like addresses, etc. are not loading properly. For example, when I got married and updated my last name, even the import data to our currently Paychex payroll is still showing up with my maiden name. This feature was available to us prior to ever using QBO payroll and it was the best way to differentiate and keep track of employees vs. vendors.
Am I seriously expected to add employees into QBO as vendors now? I have employees with loans and advances that have been linked to their names as "employees" and not as vendors. When I go to write a manual check to any employees I'm running into the issue with the name not updating either eventhough under the payroll tab/employees/everything seems to be updated and fine.
That would be pretty crappy to do this to users just because they canceled a payroll subscription that simply did not work well for a company with 50+ employees. I would really be upset to have to go and enter everyone again as vendors specifically when they are employees and it would be crazy to have to delete someone to update them and continue getting error messages for the same phone # and email address being used, because yes I tried that already too.
Also, I just tried to do a customer service chat and the lovely rep decided to simply leave the conversation.

Employees and payroll
Hello there, @SBR415. Let's perform some troubleshooting steps to ensure your employee information is updated in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Please know that it's not necessary to delete your employees in QBO and recreate them as vendors since you can select their names when entering checks.
Since your employee information is not updating properly, we can isolate the issue by troubleshooting your browser. First, open your QBO account in an incognito window. You may refer to these keyboard shortcuts:
- For Google Chrome browser: Ctrl + Shift + N
- For Mozilla Firefox browser: Ctrl + Shift + P
- For Safari browser: Command + Shift + N
If the issue persists, I recommend reaching out to our customer support team. I understand you've already contacted them. However, we'll need to get in touch again so they can raise an investigation if necessary.
Additionally, you can run reports to track your manually entered payroll in QBO.
Keep in touch if you have other questions about updating employee information. We're always available in the Community to respond to your queries. Take care.
