Feature Request: Multiple Pay Types Per Employee.

Hi CEO_of_TooManyHats_Inc,

Your feedback on this is valuable and it's important your voice is heard. QuickBooks offers a robust payroll module that adapts with you as your business grows. Feedback like yours helps make the program fun and intuitive to use. 

You're more than welcome to forward any other feedback directly to our engineers by clicking the Gear icon and looking for Feedback. Otherwise, I'd recommend trying another workaround to paying your staff both salary plus hourly. You can also do this by taking advantage of the Other earnings pay type. Other earnings are taxable payments to your employee and they are separate from regular wages, such as retroactive pay increases and severance pay. These amounts are included in the wage base and used to calculate percentage-driven deductions. It's essential to note that you'd have to manually calculate the dollar amount of the earnings and enter those amounts on your run payroll screen to reflect the additional pay. 

Let me know if this info helps. I'll be on standby in case you have other questions. 

James,

Thank you for this message. I have sent this feature request as feedback as well. My post here is to help others understand that this is currently not a feature, and I will mark it as answered once the feature has been added.

I briefly considered the workaround you described, but decided against it after realizing it may cause discrepancies with hours worked on future ROEs.

I see what you're saying. Thanks for taking the time to go through the workaround. If I hear more about this feature, I'll make sure to reach back to you right away. Otherwise, feel free to ask questions, I'm here to help.
