Ugh I just wrote a long reply and imamother refreshed itself in the middle.
Basically, if you trained her to do it and she didn’t, you don’t owe her but be prepared to have a disgruntled employee on your hands. If you didn’t specify your needs, it’s on you.

That’s not true. A lot of employers don’t need that information for whatever reason.

No you can not make her do it on her own time. Admittedly, you hired her in a rush and made assumptions… Did you train her in? Did you look into the matter on QuickBooks see see if check numbers are considered a basic QuickBooks thing? It could be that at her last job check numbers were not needed… sometimes employees need to go back and redo some thing. I know I do at my job from time to time. That’s part of having an employee and no, you cannot make her do it on her own time.

That’s pretty basic if you ask me.

One last thing. If you tell her to do it on her own time, be prepared for her to decline the job considering she is working Per-diem. You’ll have to pay somebody else to do it for you anyway or do it yourself. You might as well let her do it.

That's ridiculous. You shouldn't have to specify that you want check numbers. She was being lazy and she knows it.

I don’t think OP thought she had to train her on something this basic. It’s standard to put in check numbers or if it’s a wire or however the transaction took place for accurate record keeping in case of a discrepancy. Also for bank reconciliations. It happens every now and again that we will apply a check one way and our vendor or customer applied it another way. We communicate in that instance but without check numbers it’s so much harder to track. I would ask her to please enter them. If she doesn’t want to then look for someone else to assist you in bookkeeping that will do the job correctly. We live and we learn.
I have been working as a bookkeeper for over ten years as well as took a Quickbooks certification course. If anyone needs a bookkeeper, feel free to pm me.

If OP did not check the employee’s references and give her a test task in an interview, thats on her and not on the employee.

I still don’t think there is anything wrong with asking in a polite way. If she refuses or wants more money then just drop it and don’t hire her for future work. It’s just frustrating for OP because this is so basic and this freelancer shouldn’t go around marketing herself as a bookkeeper. On the employer side, like I said before “you live and you learn” I’m sure next time she will be more thorough in who she hires.

If a check was never deposited and would need to be cancelled/stopped, the bank requires the check number.
It can also be needed as proof of payment.
Ex if getting a few checks as part of a payment plan, you need to keep track which payments arrived.
Putting in check numbers is the standard.

It is usually pretty basic but employees make mistakes. Things happen. If I were you, I would swallow it and just tell her to fix it.
