Quickbooks online payroll

Hello there, MBurnett,

 

You can create a project for the jobs and add the employee's timesheets. Make sure to turn on the Projects feature first. Check this article for more information: Set up and create projects in QuickBooks Online.

 

After that, you can create projects and calculate the labor costs then add project timesheets.

  1. Click Projects on the left pane.
  2. Select the Hourly cost rate. This opens the hourly cost rate window.
  3. Select Employee.
  4. Select Add next to an employee’s name.
  5. Select the calculator icon to pull up the cost calculator.
  6. Add your employee’s hourly wage and employer taxes.
  7. You can also enter data for their additional employer taxes, workers’ comp, and overhead to get even more accurate hourly cost rate info.
  8. When you’re done, select Add to save the cost rate.
  9. Repeat these steps for each employee.

Add project timesheets:

  1. Select + New.
  2. Select Weekly Timesheet.
  3. Select your worker and the week you’re entering time for from the drop-down menus.
  4. Select the project from the Choose a customer or project drop-down menu.
  5. Fill out the timesheet. You can choose a different pay item from regular pay as needed.

Here's an article for the detailed steps: Get your project labor costs in real-time.

 

I'll be right here if you have additional questions.
