How do you update employee wages on a specific date?

We can only change the pay rate, @Officegopher. Let's work together to get a workaround since viewing the date when you modify it is unavailable.

You can pull up the Employee details, Payroll Summary by Employee, or Payroll Summary reports to see detailed info on your employees. It contains the rate, pay type, and other payroll data. I'll show you how:

1. Go to Reports from the left menu.
2. Select the Standard tab.
3. Scroll down to the Payroll section, then choose which report to run.
4. Change the Date Range and choose the desired Employee.
5. Tap Run Report.

Not one, single report gives me the information I need.  The issues with QuickBooks with user interface and being able to do specific tasks inside QuickBooks is why I will not recommend this program to friends and colleagues. 

I can see how this feature is beneficial to your and other businesses, Officegopher.

When keeping track of employee wages in your account, it is important to have them modified up to their recent and specific date to make sure changes on your worker's pay are updated. However, this functionality is unavailable in the online program.

You may consider running the Paycheck History report as a workaround to acquire the details. From this section. you'll able to view the pay rates from each paycheck of your employees.
