What are the correct payroll settings to pay an employee on a monthly basis?

You can set up a pay schedule for each employee, rnasd. Allow me to guide you through the process.

 

If you have QuickBooks Online Core Payroll, there are two types of pay schedules that you can assign to your employees. Either Weekly or Monthly. Since you want to pay your employees every month, choose Monthly instead.

 

To begin with, let's add a new pay schedule. Here's how:

 

  1. Head to Payroll, then Employees.
  2. Select an employee and click Start or Edit from the Employment details section.
  3. From the Pay Schedule dropdown, pick + Add Pay Schedule.
  4. Choose Every month as a Pay frequency, then provide the date for your Next payday and the End of next pay period.
  5. Key in a Pay schedule name.
  6. Uncheck Use this pay schedule for employees you add after this one box if you don't want to utilize this schedule for the next added employee. Otherwise, keep the box checked.
  7. Hit Save.

 

Once routed to the Edit employment details tab again, select Every month as the Pay schedule. You can then provide other data from the remaining field and click Save.
