Set Up Auto Payroll
Auto Payroll streamlines the payroll process by automating tasks and saving you valuable time. To utilize this feature, you must complete your initial payroll setup and run your first payroll through the platform.
However, it's important to note that Auto Payroll is not suitable for commission-only employees, inactive employees, or 1099 contractors. It's also not recommended for hourly employees whose hours vary from pay period to pay period.
Once your employees are enrolled, you’ll receive an email with the details of your upcoming payday, 2 business days before Auto Payroll processes. Then we’ll email you again after your Auto Payroll has been processed. You can sign in to QuickBooks Online to view or print paychecks.
Before your auto payroll kicks in and processes your payroll checks, you've got the chance to make some tweaks if needed. You can change things like your employee's pay details, deduction or contribution amounts, or even their tax info.
Just a heads up, about 2 business days before auto payroll starts its magic, we'll send you an email with all the details and timing for your upcoming payday. So keep an eye out for that!
