Employee hours not earned

Thanks for coming by, @LDBarrett.

I can guide you through how to enter the extra hours in QuickBooks. You can either add the extra hour manually when you create the paycheck or create a new hourly item for it. 

To add an item, let's go to your employee's profile. Here's how:

1. Go to the Employees menu at the top.
2. Choose Employee Center.
3. Select the employee's name and edit. Then, tap the Payroll Info tab.
4. Under the Earnings section, tap the next row and from the drop-down pick Add New.
5. You'll be routed to the Add new payroll item window, enter the new Hourly Wages details. See the images below.
6. Select Next until Finish.
7. Click OK.

Learn more about the hourly wage in this guide: Set up an hourly wage payroll item.

Additionally, here's a link that'll help you in managing payroll-related tasks. It contains payroll topics and articles for your guidance: View all help for QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

You can always reach out to me anytime if you still have questions or concerns with payroll. I'll be around for you. Take care and have a great day ahead.

In order to pay them for the hours, you either need to enter 9.0 hours at their regular pay rate, or increase the pay rate for Friday and pay them for 6.5 hours.

If the employee makes $20 per hour, for example, pay either:

9.0 hours * $20.00 = $180.00

6.5 hours * $27.70 = $180.05

If you pay a different rate, you might use a different hourly earnings item for Friday's pay.
