Make paycheck corrections after payroll

In a nutshell: When you can fix payroll after processing, you can feel more confident when running it. Now you can record payroll after employees have been paid, or void a check and recreate it with updates—even if the tax payment will be past due. 

In QuickBooks Online Payroll, you can correct payroll mistakes and manage payroll for employees whose paychecks haven’t been recorded within the current tax quarter. Note that corrections can only be made if taxes haven’t been filed for that period.

After any payroll changes you make, QuickBooks will also remind you to check your payroll taxes to see whether the amount you owe has changed.

Digitize the I-9 employment verification process with QuickBooks Online Payroll

In a nutshell: QuickBooks Online Payroll Premium and Elite subscribers can now collaborate more easily with their employees to complete I-9 employment verification.

Rather than rely on hard copies of this important form, you can simplify and digitize the I-9 process:

• As part of their QuickBooks Workforce self-setup in the web portal, your new employee will confirm their identity and eligibility for U.S. employment.
• On their start date, the new employee will bring you their ID-confirming documents.
• Within three days of this start date, you’ll complete your part of the I-9 form in QuickBooks.
• Afterward, for your safekeeping, the employee’s I-9 will be stored in the Documents tab of their profile.

Note: QuickBooks Workforce must be enabled for an employee for them to self-setup and complete their I-9 form. Employees must have access to QuickBooks Workforce to complete self-setup and their portion of the I-9 form. This feature is only available in the QuickBooks Workforce web portal.

In the Home tab, you can view business performance and complete work tasks in the same place. You can also personalize the page like a dashboard by resizing, reordering, adding, and removing widgets so you can work the way you prefer.

By default, your client’s homepage will include productivity and insights widgets, as well as discovery widgets or suggestions for an improved experience from the start.
