I want to add a new payroll item for all employees

Unfortunately, there is currently no functionality that enables mass updates for employee items and wages.

Hello, SusanneCr. 

Thank you for your inquiry. We understand your concern regarding the payroll items for your employees. Unfortunately, adding payroll items for a new wage rate for all employees at once is not possible. You will need to add them individually for each employee.  

1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
2. Click on Payroll, then select the Employees tab.
3. Select the Employee.
4. Press on the Pay Types tab.
5. Enter the Rate and the necessary details for the new payroll item.
6. Save the changes.

Here are some articles for additional reference:

• Add or Change Pay Types in Online Payroll.
• Change your accounting preferences in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

Additionally, you can run various payroll reports in QuickBooks if you need to check on your employee's year-to-date data. These reports will give you a detailed overview of your employee's earnings, deductions, and taxes. To access these reports, follow the steps outlined in the article Run Payroll Reports, and you'll be able to get the information you need in no time. Whether you're looking to review individual employee data or get a big-picture view of your payroll expenses, QuickBooks makes it easy to get the insights you need to run your business more effectively.
