Payroll items

Good morning, mreller.

Thanks for reaching out for support here in the Community. I'd be glad to provide some info so you're able to edit payroll items in your client's QuickBooks Online account.

There are a few steps to get this done. Here's how

1. Select Payroll menu > Employees.
2. Click the name of the employee.
3. Choose Edit employee.
4. Under How much do you pay. . ., select Add additional pay types.
5. Choose the pay type that fits your purposes.
   • You may need to select Even more ways to pay. . . to make the pay type you're looking for available.
   • Enter an amount in the $ field to make the amount recurring, or leave it blank and just enter the amount when running payroll.
   • To rename or change the pay type, select the edit (pencil) icon beside the pay type's name.
6. Select Done.

The following linked article provides additional info about adding or changing pay types in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

Please feel free to reach back out if you have any other questions. I'll be here to help.

Thanks.That got me farther than I have gotten before.  Some employees get tips paid to them.  This is not pointing to the "Tips Payable" on the balance sheet.  I want to change that.  I tried setting up a new Tips item but it give me no option to point it to an account.

Hey mreller,

Thank you for reaching back out to the Community! I'm glad we were able to help. When it comes to setting up and paying tips, there are a few special situations to consider. For example, if your employee earns less than $20 per month in tips, they are not subject to federal payroll taxes. Another example is Online Payroll doesn't support allocated tips as a pay type.

To learn more about these situations, I highly recommend reviewing this article for more insight about tips and paychecks.

Let me know if you have any other questions. I will be happy to assist! Take care for now.
