Thanks for joining this thread, SunflowerBusiness.

We can either manually type in the employee lists or export them. Enter the remaining payroll data such as personal information, taxes, address, etc. Then, recreate the paychecks or enter them via prior payroll.

If you wish to export the list, I recommend following the steps by my peer @Michael K. Next, go to the Payroll Center to add your worker’s information. Let me help and guide you on how to perform this task.

1. Press the Employees menu at the top menu to select the Payroll Center.
2. Click the New Employee menu to view the worker’s profile.
3. From there, navigate to the following tabs and complete all the fields: Personal, Address & Contact, Additional Info, Payroll Info, Employment Info, and Worker’s Comp.
4. Hit the OK button.
5. Perform the same procedure to set the next worker’s profile.

Let me share this guide for more insights into the process. Click the QuickBooks Desktop Payroll (all versions) link to view the information: Add a new employee to your payroll.

Additionally, this guide contains resources on how to easily perform any payroll tasks in QuickBooks Desktop: Payroll self-help articles.

Keep me posted if you need help when working in QuickBooks. I’ll jump right back in to assist further. Enjoy the rest of the day.
