Adding employees and editing billable rates (not payroll)

Hi there, NicoLtd.

Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community. I'll ensure you can see the list of employees including updating their details and editing billable rates in QuickBooks Online.

When recording a list of names, it depends on what type you've chosen when you set up them in the new time entry section. With this, if the person is assigned as an employee, you can go to their profile. Then, you can see all employees you've added and have the option to edit their details and billable rate from there.

Here's how:

1. Click the Employee's menu on the left panel.
2. Click the Edit link drop-down arrow under the Action column.
3. You'll be routed to the Employee section and go to the Additional info section and you can change the billable rate in the Cost rate (/hr) field.
4. Update the other required details.
5. Click Save.

Lastly, you may refer to this article to see steps on how you can delete a customer, supplier, or employee in QBO: Anonymise customer, supplier, or employee data in QuickBooks.

Also, I'm adding this article on how you can add or organize user profiles in QBO so you can give each user certain permissions to do specific tasks: Add and manage users in QuickBooks Online.

Please don't hesitate to add a comment below if you still have concerns about managing your employee's data. I'm always around to help, NicoLtd. Have a great day!

Thanks for your reply, but as I mentioned, we're not using Payroll so I don't have an Employees option in the left-hand navigation. 

Is there another way to see the employees I have added to Projects and to edit their details? Thanks.

To clarify, I do see Add Employee under the New button at the top left, but this then prompts me to enable Payroll, which we do not want to do. 

I basically want to add team members (employees or subcontractors) to QBO so they can track time on Projects. No payroll functionality needed. 

Thanks.
