The Job Reporting relies on your use of Items. Here is how to Job Track details such as Employee Mileage, Employee Reimbursement, and Per Diem.
Set up a Bank account and name it Payroll Clearing. Enter here using Banking menu > Write Check, using the Employee Name and the Items tab, everything you owe to that employee that you want to add to the Paycheck, such as, using Direct Deposit makes it nice for these additions. Job track, billable or not, etc, right here.
Now this Bank is running negative.
Set up your Addition item, and link it Not to Expense. Link it instead to the Payroll Clearing Bank. Do Not use it for job tracking; you already took care of that detail. List this on the Paycheck Details for the amount you owe that employee. Using this item here will Debit Payroll Clearing, so that acts as a Refill of the Clearing Bank.
If you did this right, Payroll Clearing Bank for that paydate, now ends at $0. And you have all the job tracking details you needed, and Job Reporting works fine, for using service items, noninventory items, and other charge type items on these "reimbursement checks." The value is on the Paycheck, the details are in the Clearing bank.
