Is it possible to set up QuickBooks Time so that employees can enter commission based items

Hey there, @brwilliam01.

Great having you here in the Community. I hope you're enjoying the day so far. 

If you don't mind, could you clarify a couple of things for me? When the employee's enter their commission, are you wanting them to enter it as a dollar amount, hours, etc? Also, when you're saying commission based items, what are you referring to? 

Knowing just a bit more details will help me along further so I can provide the right steps for you. 

I wanted to mention that we do have a notes section available, if you wanted to enter that information there. If you were interested in that, you can see more details in Add notes to your current timesheet in QuickBooks Time.

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your reply and look forward to chatting with you soon. Take care and have a wonderful rest of your day!

Thank you for replying.

Our social workers are paid at an hourly, as well as a fixed commission basis for specific services provided to clients (e.g., home studies, post placement reports). With the old Intuit payroll system, I was entering hours and fixed dollar commissions myself using the entries on timesheets that were created from an Excel-based template.

With the switch to QuickBooks Time, it would be helpful if they could record both hours and commission-based items themselves, subject to my reviewing them prior to submitting the payroll.

I hope that's clear.

Good day brwilliam01,

It is nice to see you in the QuickBooks Community! Thank you for clarifying as well. QuickBooks Time is only built to enter in hours worked and not commission based work. However, you can can definitely track hours to different tasks through Custom Fields, but not at a rate per task.

I do see how having a feature like this would be a bonus. I suggest filling out a feature request. Our developers are always looking for ways to enhance our program and your experience. Here's how:

1. Go to help.tsheets.com.
2. At the bottom, select Suggest an idea.
3. Enter your idea, then select Post a new idea or Vote for an existing idea.
4. Describe the idea, and select Post idea.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with! Have a lovely day!
