Do I have to set up the direct deposit to reacive my payment from work

It's nice to see you here, Josh. You don't need to set up your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account for direct deposit, and I'm here to share further details.

To receive your pay from your employer via direct deposit, you only need to fill out, sign, and date a direct deposit authorization form and attach a voided check from your bank account (not a deposit slip). 

Here's how to obtain the Employee Direct Deposit Authorization form:

1. Let your employer go to Taxes and select Payroll Tax.
2. Click Filings, then Resources.
3. In the Tax Setup section, click Setup Forms.
4. Go to the Employee tab.
5. Select View in the Employee Bank Verification.

For more information, please see this article: Set up direct deposit for employees.

Moreover, you can let your employer invite you to QuickBooks Workforce to view and print your pay stubs and W-2s online.

Feel free to get back to us if you have additional questions about direct deposit in QBO. We're always here to answer your queries. Take care, and have a great day ahead.
