To change your employee's pay method in QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP), you first need to connect the bank account that will be used to pay your employees. To do this, go to the Gear icon > Payroll settings > Bank accounts. Click the pencil icon, then enter your business details, principal officer information, and bank account details. Select Save.

 

You’ll receive a confirmation email to verify your information by uploading your identification (ID).

 

Once verified, update the employee's pay method. Ensure the employee has completed a Direct Deposit Authorization Form. Go to Payroll > Employees. Select the employee you want to update. In the Payment method section, click Edit, and choose Direct deposit from the Payment method dropdown menu. Choose a Direct deposit method, enter the necessary account details using employee's voided cheque information, and select Save.
