Onboard new employees to QuickBooks Time with a unique company code
In a nutshell: Speed up QuickBooks Time onboarding for new employees with a unique 6-digit or QR code that can be used in place of invitations.
Hiring workers is hard enough, and that’s why onboarding needs to be as easy as possible. Starting in January 2022, admins have the option to skip the individual invitations to get new employees on time tracking and payroll.
How it works:
New hires use a 6-digit or QR code to access timekeeping records: It could be posted in a break room, shared as a text message, or printed on first-day paperwork.
Since the code is unique to each company, employees can start tracking time as soon as possible, without waiting for the admin.
Admins can onboard multiple workers with a single code.
Admins using this new feature don’t have to manually add each person and their contact information before sending out invitations.
