How do I run a report on active employees during a specified time period?

I understand how important this functionality could be for your needs, tylerjolly.

As mentioned above, QuickBooks Online currently doesn't offer a direct built-in report to show active employees during a past period. As a workaround, you'll want to consider pulling up the Payroll Detail and Paycheck History. They  provide information about the paychecks issued to workers and can help you infer their activity based on the pay dates.

The Employee Details report also provides insights into an employee's timeline with your company, including hire and termination dates. Using this, we can accurately determine when they joined your team or concluded their tenure. Here's how to pull them up:

1. Go to the Reports menu.
2. Scroll down to the Payroll section.
3. Open Payroll Detail, Paycheck History, and Employee Details.
4. Under who to include, select All employees.
5. Apply the desired customizations, then hit Run report.
