Can you set up tsheets the way timesheets in quickbooks are? I need to be able to pay at different rates on different projects for different people.

As long as each employee has those different rates set up in QB then they will sync into TSheets and it would be up to you to reassign hours to proper pay rates prior to approving the time sheets in TSheets for syncing to QB.  TSheets does not import the actual pay rates but only the pay types for each employee. Anything you set or change in TSheets first will not appear in QB, the changes must be made in QB first

This is the full situation:

I have a project i have to pay a higher rate to my employees. However i work this job too and pay my self my regular salary. How do i set up t sheets to be able to pay them the higher rate but pay me my salary. I can do it in quickbooks but i cant find a way to do it in tsheets.

Thanks in advance. 

Hello there, andrewaminsulati.

As long as you've added yourself as an employee in QuickBooks Online, TSheets will recognize you as an employee. Moreover, as our AllStar suggested, you can create an hourly rate for yourself in QBO that's higher. When synced with TSheets,  you can use the rate to record your time for your salary.

Hi there, @andrewaminsulati.

You don't need to set up the pay type and the pay rate of the employee in Tsheets. This is because this program doesn't do payroll calculations. Although, you can do that in your integrated QuickBooks Online (QBO) company. I'd be glad to show you how to enter multiple employee pay rates in QBO.

1. Go to the Payroll menu, then select Employees.
2. Click the name of the employee and choose the Employee details tab.
3. Select the Edit or Pencil icon beside the Pay section.
4. Locate the section 3 How much do you pay (employee's name) and select the Pencil icon below the pay rate.
5. In the first section, click the hyperlinked text Add an hourly rate. 
6. Enter the name of the Project and the Rate.
7. Select Done.

I've also added some screenshots for your additional reference:

When your employee will log in to their time for the specific project, they can manually select it in the Tsheets. Since you've mentioned that you'll also want to record a separate pay, you can enter it manually when you're ready to run payroll. Tsheets is dependent on QuickBooks in getting the employee's details. You'll just have to use the QuickBooks menu in the upper-right corner of your account dashboard in Tsheets to get the updates you've made in QuickBooks. Here's how it looks like:

I don't think I'm being understood. I get how to do that. when I run my time and my employees time on a project I need the employees time to be set up for a specific pay type and mine just be my regular salary.  Tsheets doesn't do this. when i log the hours in tsheets it defaults their time to regular pay not the alternate pay type. How to i change this for them but keep my time on the same project my regular salary. 

Hello, andrewaminsulati. 

Since TSheets doesn’t do any payroll calculations, we don’t import over the pay rate of the employees. However, you have the option to enter this field into the employee’s profile within TSheets, but it is for a reference point, not used in reporting calculations. Here's how to do it: 

Set up different hourly rates: 

1. Go to the Workers or Payroll menu, then select Employees.
2. Choose the employee's name, then Edit employee.
3. Under How much do you pay this employee?, select Add additional pay types (if you haven't selected any other pay types), or select the edit (pencil) icon if you have.
4. Tap Add an hourly rate.
5. Add s description and enter a dollar amount for the hourly rate.
6. Click Done.
