Commissions

Diane B1 · ‎October 14, 2020

Hello,

I am trying to set up an employee to receive 10% commission on Equine Ride Revenues each month. I plan to enter the commission amount in his 1st paycheck of the next month (along with his salary). My question is, do I need to create some sort of JE to recognize the commission expense once he is paid the commission? I hope this makes sense. Thank you

Example:

June Equine Revenue = $100

10% Commission for June = $10

Commission entered into employees paycheck on July 15 payroll run = $10

Welcome reaching out to the Community, Diane B1.

You can pay your employee's commission along with their regular pay. What you'll need to do is to add the commission pay type in QuickBooks Online. I'll show you how to do it:

From the Workers tab, select Employees.
Choose the name of the employee.
Select the Edit ✎ icon next to Pay.
In the How much do you Pay employee section, select the Edit ✎ icon or +Add additional pay types.
Choose Commission.
Click Done, then Done.

With these steps, you'll be able to enter your employee's commission together with their regular pay.

That should do it! Please let me know if you have any other payroll concerns. I'll be right here to help.
