Hello Adam N B,
It's incredible to hear that you have so many collage-age summer staff working with your business. From your post, it sounds like it may be a summer camp, which is an awesome service to offer! I can appreciate how tracking and deducting the amounts for staff purchases might be a bit tricky to navigate and I'm here to help.
Luckily, QuickBooks Desktop has just the article to help you with this process, and it's something you can find right in product. You'll be looking for an article titled Selling products or services to employees and deducting payments from their pay cheques. Here's how to find it.
- Select Help from the top menu and choose QuickBooks Desktop Help.
- Click the Help tab.
- Click the Search button.
- Input the title or other keywords into the search bar and click the arrow icon or hit the Enter key.
- Select the Selling products or services to employees and deducting payments from their pay cheques article to learn about this process.
Those instructions should get you on track, but don't be afraid to reach out again if you'd like clarification about any of them.
Have a great rest of your day!
