Hi dave.s, 

If you are referring to the employee's password for their payslip email, it is consist of eight characters, in the format of:

  • First 4 letters of the employee’s surname (lowercase).
  • First 4 characters of the NI number (lowercase). If no NI number is present in QBO, the year of birth is used.

Example: The password for Ben Narramore with NI no. AB 12 34 56 D would be narrab12.

 

For any other questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me. Thank you.

Hi my problem is that the employees surname only has 3 letters. What does it do then?

Hello Community Users, Just wanted to pop in and add some clarification. In the case the Employee surname is 3 characters long you would use all the 3 letters of the surname and the first 4 characters of the National insurance number as the password. Any questions on this feel free to add to this thread. Thanks
