Is there a way I can group my employee based on skill set as we have painters, and store crew on different pay rate. I would like to group all painters in one group and Store crew is different group.

There is no "manage users" or anything about users in general under my payroll settings.  Is this a desktop setting or is this suppose to be an option in QBO

Hi austindrakepaint,

The feature mentioned above for managers to be able to Manage Employee Groups is within the Payroll System found in your QuickBooks file by following the below steps:

1. When signed into your QuickBooks file, select the Employees tab on the left-hand side
2. Then select Payroll Settings
3. In the middle column under Business Management, third from the top you should see Manage Users
4. Once on this screen, up the top you will see two tabs to switch from, one includes Manage Employee Groups.

For more info I've also attached a link here which goes into more detail pertaining to Managing Employee Groups and steps.

Hope this helps,

Hi, i am also looking for a way to create employee groups in QBO to be able to assign pay rates, since i can only do 7 individually and cannot choose which rate for what employee.. 

Hi Grey, 

Thank you for reaching out on this. 

I would suggest creating pay rate templates for each group of your employees so their pay rate would be aligned within the group. Here is how:

Thank you and please let us know if you require any additional assistance.

Thanks Zac, 

i looked at this link and i do not have the Pay Conditions in payroll settings, is this under accounting? and i cannot find anywhere to set up groups of employees.. 

Thank you for getting back to us on this, Grey. 

Pay Conditions is the header of the column for the following settings:

 Manage Awards
 Employment Agreements
 Work Types
 Rule Sets
 Pay Rate Templates
 Leave Allowance Templates
 Timesheet Rounding
 Tags

There's no grouping function for employees at the moment, but creating and assigning the same pay category for the "group" would serve the same purpose as employees in the same pay category would have the same pay rate. 

Hope this helps. 

Hi Zac, 

unfortunately i have never seen these options in our QBO, am i missing a step somewhere?

Hi Grey, 

After you click on Payroll Settings, it should be the second column from your right. Please make sure you are using a supported browser like Google Chrome or Firefox. Not Internet Explorer. 

Thank you and please let us know if you require any additional assistance.

Hi Zac, 

yes i am using Chrome, with a cleared browser history, and here is my Payroll settings attached.. 

Should i follow up with support to see if our software is missing this?

Yes, please. Here is our Contact Us page:
