Hi. Wondering if someone can point me in the right direction please? I have a young employee who has a saturday job and earns below the personal allowance and therefore does not need to be included in the payroll. Where therefore do you record the wages in quickbooks online?

Hello there, lou161.

We can set up the employee and use the calculated taxes and wages in paying it to the agency. If you opt not to set up the employee you can manually create a journal entry or write cheques and use a third-party payroll calculator for calculating the wages and taxes. 

I also suggest reaching out to an accountant to help you identify which option best suits the employee. You can look into these articles for more details in managing payroll:

• QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll Hub

I'll be here if you need anything else. You take care always!
