Hello there, dr21.
Employee’s work hours is indefinite that’s why you’ll need to enter it manually when creating paycheck. Moreover, there isn’t a setting in QuickBooks Payroll that’ll need you to enter a fix weekly hours for the employee. This is to cater the differences from each week, so that there’s no need to change anything.
Thanks for visiting us here, please get back to us if you have other questions with QuickBooks.
