How do I add holiday pay to a commision based employee?

We can create a new payroll item for holiday pay for your commission-based employee since adding it directly is unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO), Nseda-dvm.

To achieve this, let's navigate through the Employees page. I'll walk you through the process below:

1. Open your QBO account and go to the Payroll menu.
2. From the Employees section, click Edit payroll items.
3. Click the New payroll item button and choose Pay type.
   
   
   
   
4. Choose the pay item type, then you will be asked to enter a name for the item. See the given example below.
   
   
   
5. Click Create and select Assign employee(s).
6. Search for the employee's name and tick on the box. 
   
   
   
7. Click Next and enter the amount or percentage per paycheck if needed.
8. Once done, hit Save.

By creating a separate payroll item, you can maintain the integrity of the commission-based setup while still offering additional compensation to acknowledge the holidays. 

If you need to track your employees’ commissions, you can generate payroll reports in QuickBooks.
