How do I change the hourly rate to time and a half for holiday pay?

Congrats, @bfrayner6!. You've made your first Community post. 

Let's change the hourly rate for one of your employees. 

1. Select Workers from the left menu, then Employees.
2. Choose the employee's name, then Edit employee .

3. Under How much do you pay this employee?, click Add additional pay types (if you haven't selected any other pay types), or the edit (pencil) icon if you have.
4. Press Add an hourly rate.

5. Add description and enter a dollar amount for the hourly rate.
6. Pick Done. 

It's that simple! Also, here's a link that can provide you with additional information on pay types. 

Remember, I'm only a comment away if you have any further questions. Have a wonderful day. 

I'm not able to change the rate when I check holiday pay. There's no place for me to do so. Can someone help? I need to get payroll completed.

Yes, we're here to get you working with your payroll, jason109.

After enabling the Holiday Pay in the employee's profile, you can enter the amount when you create payroll for the employee. You can use this link for reference: Add holiday pay to paychecks.

We'll be right here if you have additional questions regarding the holiday pays for your employees.

The link did not address the issue.  Holiday is preset to the employees hourly rate.  I need to add a "Working Holiday tab at a different rate.  Is this possible?

Hi there, Sonja8.

Adding a Working Holiday tab at a different rate is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Online. Although, you can manually change the amount of the holiday pay when creating paychecks. Here's how:

1. Go to the Payroll menu and proceed to the Employees tab.
2. Click Run payroll and check the name of the employee.
3. Enter the amount of the holiday pay in the Holiday Pay Hours field.
4. Proceed to creating the paycheck like you normally would.

Let me also share these additional articles for further guidance and reference:

The link in this reply is broken, please update if possible. Thanks

Glad to see you in this thread, @Mystic. I'll be happy to walk you through how you can edit your employees' hourly rate and add holiday pays to paychecks in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Before anything else, I'd like to share some details as to why you can't access the links provided by my colleague in the thread. A possible reason could be that the article you're trying to access was updated to ensure that the steps inside it are doable and will apply to the newly upgraded version of the web-based program.

Now to edit the hourly rate of your employee and add the holiday pay to their paychecks, you'll want to go to the Payroll tab and select Employees. I'll input the steps below so you can proceed. To begin, here's how:

1. Access your QuickBooks Online company.
2. On the left navigational bar, go to the Payroll tab.
3. Select Employees.
4. Choose the employee that you'd like to edit.
5. From Pay types, select Start or Edit.
6. Select the pay types your want to add or edit:

• Pay type ▼ for hourly, salary, or commission only. If your employee has multiple hourly rates, select Hourly 2 or Another hourly pay type. You can rename these hourly pay types.
• Common pay types ▼ for overtime, holiday pay, bonus, or commission.
• Time off pay policies ▼ for paid time off like sick or vacation. Check out Set up and track time off in payroll to set up or change policies.
• Additional pay types ▼ for other pay types like tips, reimbursement, allowances, or fringe benefits.

      7. Enter the rates for each pay type.

      8. You can rename some of the pay types. Select Edit ✎ next to the pay type.

      9. Select Save.

For more information, please see this up-to-date article: Add or change pay types.

Also, I've got you this article to help you manage your employees' in QBO: Edit or change employee info in payroll.

Furthermore, if you want to let your employees' view their paystubs, you can refer to this page for the complete guidelines: View your pay stubs, time off, and year-to-date pay in QuickBooks Workforce.

I'll be here in the Community space if you have any additional QuickBooks-related concerns, @Mystic. Feel free to get back to me anytime. Stay safe, and have a nice day!

thanks for the walkthrough, I'll give it a shot.  We run our first payroll in QB on Monday and I'm irrationally nervous.

We have both single hour holiday and 1.5 time this pay period.  People scheduled for Christmas are getting full pay, those that worked on Christmas observed are getting 1.5.  I assume/imagine those would be two separate columns in the payroll report.

I'm paying for top tier support, but lost track of days.  Hopefully someone is available to walk us through the first payroll, but I don't recall if the appointment was set up..

Edit to add:  is there a way to create a template that copies across all employees, or are they done one at a time?

attached is a weird result.  It looks like the OT at time and a half pulls from the higher of holiday (1.5) or base pay.  I created two employees with equal pay to demonstrate in the screenshot.  How do I get the OT to just calculate off the base pay?

Welcome back to the Community, Mystic Knotwork. I'll share some information about your payroll issues today.

Editing or adding an employee can be done individually. 

Regarding the odd results when attempting to run payroll, I suggest contacting our Payroll Support again by Monday. One of our representatives can pull up your account and can initiate a screen-sharing to walk you through every step of the way and ensure running your first payroll seamlessly and accurately.

I'm not sure this is correct. I followed your instructions, but couldn't change the pay rate to time and a half. Is your solution to add 50% more time to effectively create time and a half?
