Add self employed staff to roster

Thanks for choosing QuickBooks in tracking payroll, VGG-Accounting. I can see how important it is to add yourself to the roster. I'm here to share some details.

To add yourself to the roster, you'll need to be an employee in the program. Otherwise, you can set up an owner's draw account. Then, use it to pay yourself. I'll show you how:

1. Go to the Accounting menu and click Chart of Accounts. 
2. At the upper-right, click New. 
3. Select Equity as the Account Type. 
4. Choose and click the Owner's Equity. 
5. Give a name for the equity account and then enter an opening balance. 

Here's how you can use the account to pay your wage:

1. Click the +New button from the left menu.
2. Select Cheque. 
3. Enter the bank account your fund will be withdrawn. 
4. In the Account field, select the equity account we set up.
5. Click Save and close.

To review the cheques, you can run the Check Detail report. Below are the instructions on how to do it:

1. Go to Reports.
2. Enter Check Detail on the search bar.
3. Customize the filter of the report if needed.
4. Click Run report.

Paying self employed staff is not the problem.  Adding the self employed owner to the roster is the problem. Despite being the owner, he still works shifts so for his and the other staff benefit, his shifts need to go on to the roster but there doesn't seem to be a way to add him.
