Payroll payments - automate

Automatically uploading the employee's net pay could speed up the payroll process, AS37.

For now, there's no option to let QuickBooks automatically send the payment to the employee's bank.

After creating the pay run, you'll need to download the payment file from QBO and upload it to your bank's website through BACS. Here's how:

1. Go to the Payroll menu and proceed to the Pay Runs tab.
2. Choose the pay period, then go to the Actions tab.
3. Click the drop-down list for Download Payment File ▼, then choose the following options:
   • If you have a single payment file, select Download Payment File.
   • If you have multiple payment files, select ⚙ Payment File Settings, then select a payment file to use.
