How do I get hours to populate to overtime for employees who work over 40hrs in a week?

You'll need to set up overtime pay in your employees' profiles and use the Pay Rate Engine to customize overtime calculations, Sonriselawnandtreellc. I'll be happy to guide you along the way.

 

To start, here’s how you can set up overtime pay:

 

  1. On your QuickBooks Online Payroll account, choose Payroll in the left menu, then select Employees.
  2. Locate and select your employee.
  3. From Pay types, select Start or Edit.
  4. In the Common pay types section, select Overtime Pay.
  5. Select Save.

 

Once done, log in to your QuickBooks Time account and follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to Company Settings.
  2. Choose Payroll & Overtime, then select Overtime.
  3. Select Use Pay Rate Engine to customize your overtime calculations.
  4. Click Manage Pay Rates.
  5. Select Add Setting and enter a name.
  6. Assign team members to the setting and select Add.
  7. Choose the setting you just created, then select Add Rule.
  8. Enter a Rule Name and select a Type.
  9. Enter the appropriate settings for the selected rule.
  10. Click Save when done.
