entering payroll hours on first payroll screen

frr · ‎September 19, 2021

In QBD clients using PRO 2020 payroll items do not show on the first paycheck screen before going to each individual employee record. I add the normal hourly and overtime hours on this screen first.

In PRO 2021 clients, all of my payroll items are in the list to show/add columns. In 2020 extra payroll items do not appear on the options to add more columns. I have overtime payroll items, performance bonus items e.g. that I would like to see as extra columns. See photo

Any suggestions as to what I am missing, or is this a version upgrade?

Thanks for the information, frr.

There are lots of possibilities as to why payroll items don't show on the paycheck. One of them is an outdated tax table.

Let's ensure that you've downloaded the latest tax tables and QuickBooks Desktop file. You can follow these steps on how to download the updated tax table:

From the Employees menu, select Get Payroll Updates.
Select the Download Entire Update checkbox.
Select Download Latest Update.

If the steps below don't work, let's verify whether a deduction payroll item is set to calculate based on Net or Gross. Here'd an article as your guide: Payroll item is set to calculate based on Net or Gross.

I'll be around if there's anything that I can help. Keep safe!

I don't think there is a difference in how 2020 and 2021 work, though it appears that way in your case. However, you're using two different files and that is probably a key factor in what you're seeing.

I'm pretty sure only the items in use on the employees' records for the current payroll schedule (Weekly, in your case) and/or perhaps on their recent paychecks will appear to pick as additional columns.
