payroll-employee-onboarding

@intuit Updated 2026-09-16

Onboard a new hire into QuickBooks Payroll from user-provided details or onboarding source files such as offer letters and employee rosters. Use when the user wants to add a new payroll employee, onboard a new employee so they can be paid, deduplicate a new hire before creation, assign an existing payroll work location, set initial contract/base pay during onboarding, or review payroll-readiness gaps. Requires confirmation before write actions and reports remaining setup to finish in QuickBooks Payroll. Do not use for existing-employee pay changes outside onboarding, payroll runs, taxes, direct deposit, benefits, deductions, time off, or compliance advice.
