Hi leryn,
Thanks for reaching out. The QuickBooks Online Payroll feature lets you manage your employees' wages and deductions efficiently with just a few clicks. Check this community article for more details on how to turn on and set up payroll: https://intuit.me/2CTcm7r.
The option to pay an employee manually without the Payroll package on QuickBooks Online is not an integrated feature. If you want to create these operations manually, I suggest you ask your accountant about the best way to do it for your business. If you don't have an accountant, you can find one in your area through this link: https://proadvisor.intuit.com/app/accountant/search?region=US&ub=t.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
