I'll share insight on how you can enter guaranteed hours for employees in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), @s_ham.
In a situation where your employees worked fewer hours, you can use a payroll item to give your employees their guaranteed 40 hours of work. Here's how:
- Go to the Lists menu, then select Payroll Item List.
- Click the Payroll Item button at the bottom left, then choose New.
- Tap on Custom Setup, then press Next.
- Hit Wage, then Next.
- Select Hourly Wages, then choose the appropriate pay type, then Next.
- Type in a name for the payroll item, then Next.
- Choose the Expense account you want to use to track wages.
- Press Finish.
See this article for additional information about this process: Set up an hourly wage payroll item.
If you need to make changes to your payroll items in the future, follow the steps in this article: Edit a payroll item.
