Good day to you, Erika. I'll walk you through adding a payroll item so you can quickly credit an employee's cell phone use.
We can add a reimbursement item on your employee's profile to include this via paycheck. Please note that if you only need to add a credit once, you'll need to uncheck it the next time you compensate them manually. Let me guide you on how:
- Go to the Payroll menu and select Employees (Take me there).
- Select your employee.
- From their profile, scroll down to Pay types, then Additional pay types, and tick the Reimbursement checkbox.
- Select + Another Reimbursement if there's an existing reimbursement pay type.
- Add the default amount or leave it blank, and enter it as you run payroll.
- Once finished, tap Save.
Once done, you'll need to map the accounting preference of the reimbursement pay type in Step 2 and proceed with Step 3 to include the item in the payroll run. See this article for more details: Reimburse your employee in QuickBooks Payroll.
I've also added this article to help you identify what specific report you will use to keep track of your books about payroll: Run payroll reports.
If you have further questions or concerns about adding a credit to your paystub in QBO, please don't hesitate to let me know. We are available 24/7 to answer all of them. Have a great day ahead!
