Increasing Annual pay for employee on QB Pro 2019

Greetings, @BKkeep.

It's a pleasure to see you in the Community. I can help walk you through increasing the annual pay for one of your employees in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

You can enter the change in your employee's payroll information. Let me show you how:

1. Go to the Employees menu at the top and pick Employee Center on the drop-down.
2. Double-click the name of the specific employee to open their information.
3. Select the Payroll Info tab at the left pane.
4. On the Earnings section, enter the new rate under Hourly/Annual Rate column, then OK.

That should change his/her annual pay, and this will be effective in moving forward. At this time, QBDT doesn't have the option to enter an effective date. However, if you already created a regular paycheck prior to updating their pay, you can delete and recreate it so he/she will receive the correct amount. If it's a direct deposit, you can apply the difference on the next payroll.

For more information, you can also check out these articles for future reference:

• Set up a yearly salary payroll item.
• Employee Pay Adjustments History Report.

I'm confident that this will get you pointed in the right direction. As always, I'm a post away should you need anything or have any questions. Have a good day!

Is there a way to make the salary retro active to the beginning of the year?

Thanks for asking about this, ALMohr1.

Any changes made to the salary information will only affect future transactions. For the changes to reflect on the past transaction from the beginning of the year, you'll want to make payroll adjustments.

Check out this article for more details on how to adjust payroll liabilities in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT): Adjust payroll liabilities in QuickBooks Desktop.

Then you can run the Employee Pay Adjustments History Report to review the adjustments made.

Be sure to get back to me if you have follow-up questions. I'm always happy to help. Have a good day!
