I have salary employees that get additional pay by the hour for different types of work. How do I create a base salary with a additional hour rate?

My question is similar.  I have salaried employees but just hired an hourly worker.  How do I submit her hours so that she can get paid for the hours she worked?  She will work different hours each month (We pay monthly).

Thank you for adding your first post today, stephan and pmaynard. I can guide you in creating an additional pay type for your employees in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Creating a base salary with an additional hourly rate is not available. However, you can pay your salaried employee, then set an hourly rate from your employee's profile so you can manually switch the type every time you run their paycheck.

1. Tap on Employees from the Payroll menu.
2. Select the employee's name.
3. Click on Edit from the Pay Types section.
4. Set the Pay type to Hourly, then enter the desired rates.
5. Hit Save.

Now that we have added the worker's hourly rate, you can utilize that pay type in generating an unscheduled paycheck to compensate them for the number of hours they have worked.

1. Go to the Employees page, then select Run Payroll.
2. Select a pay schedule, then Continue.
3. Tap on Create another check.
4. Click on Preview Payroll, then follow the onscreen pop-ups to proceed.
