We received noticed from QB online that QB payroll will be transition away from manual input of Employee data, is there an option to retain the manual input option

QuickBooks Online Payroll has released updates that allow employers to easily add their employees using the Employee Self-Setup (ESS) feature, schen1.

These enhancements simplify employee onboarding while strengthening data security and regulatory compliance. You will see:

• New UI elements and a more intuitive experience to guide users when selecting and using ESS over manual setup.
• Employers can now monitor an employee’s ESS progress directly from the payroll dashboard, ensuring visibility.

We understand that flexibility is essential to you, so you still have the option to enter your employees manually when needed. You can check out this resource for more details: Manage Employee Self Setup (ESS) on the Payroll platform as an employer.
