Hourly plus commission pay

How do I set up and pay an employee who is paid hourly (bi-weekly) plus commissions (monthly)? And how do I set up those commissions to cost against the job? 

I am new to QBO and have not been able to schedule an onboarding call yet. 

Thank you

Hey there PBB2023,

 

It's always a pleasure to see new faces in the Community, Welcome! Thanks for reaching out to us here. QuickBooks Online Payroll is a great tool to have. It gives you the option to add pay types in addition to regular pay. I would be happy to provide some information. 

 

Follow the steps below to add a commission pay type for an employee, in addition to regular pay:

  1. Go to Payroll and select Employees
  2. Select the employee's name.
  3. In the Pay type section, click Edit.  
  4. Select the Commission checkbox.
  5. Select Done.

If you require further assistance, I recommend reaching out to the support team outside of the Community so that we can work directly with you. You can reach them by following one of these methods:

 

Schedule a Callback or start a Chat: click (?)Help in the upper right > type and enter "Contact support" into the QB Assistant > click Contact Us > explain your situation > click Let's Talk > choose Get a callback or Start a Chat.
Social Media: Facebook and Twitter

 

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out here.

Hourly plus commission pay

I appreciate your help Amanda, thank you but unfortunately this does not answer my question. 

I need to pay commissions to an employee based on sales and need to add the commission amount against the cost of the job. I have spoken to two members of the support team and neither can figure out how this should be done. Because this employee is paid both commissions plus and hourly wage (less CSD), I also need this payment to add to his YTD amounts. If anyone has any knowledge of how to do this I would appreciate the help.
