Pay stub has Qty instead of Hours

What type of item is showing Qty?  Some, like a Bonus or Commission are supposed to show Qty.

Hi @jstabler.

It may have set up to pay employees by piece or by payroll commission in QuickBooks. You can go to employees' Payroll Info to change this.

There you can modify the information into Hourly Wages instead of Commission.

Let me show you how:

1. Go to the Employees menu and select Employee Center.
2. Double-click the name of the employee, then go to the Payroll Info.
3. In the ITEM NAME column, click the drop-down arrow, then select Add New.
4. Choose Hourly Wages and click Next.
5. Select Regular Pay, then click Next.
6. Enter the payroll item name and select Next.
7. Click Finish, then select OK.

Also, I'll be sharing this video article as your reference is setting up an employee's payroll information: Set up employee.

You can repeat these steps for the rest of the employees that you need to pay hourly. Then, you can now create paychecks for them. Just select the payroll item that you've created.

Please let me know if you need further assistance. I'll be happy to help. More power to your business!

It's hourly wage. The only other payroll items we have are Holiday Pay and that shows as hourly. If you look at her paycheck detail on QuickBooks, it shows hourly. It's only wrong on the printed pay stub.

All of that is set up correctly. And this is the tab in her payroll record.

Not sure why, but I can't see your image.  If you can include an inline image by clicking the Photos/Camera icon, and one of the paystub print preview, that may help.

Thanks for the screenshots, jstabler.

The Quantity column is a default set up that shows in your paystub. For now, removing the information isn't possible. You'll want to open the paycheck instead.

On the other hand, the Quantity field is visible only if you use Commissions and if you're viewing using a paycheck. These are Other Payroll Items that use the Quantity field:

• Addition, deduction, or company contribution based on quantity: Enter the quantity. For example, for mileage reimbursement, enter the number of miles.

• Other tax based on hours or days worked: Enter the number of hours or days worked.

The payroll item setup determines whether or not you can type in the Quantity field. If you do not enter anything in the Quantity field, QuickBooks calculates the amount for the payroll item without using the Quantity field.

You can also reprint a paycheck in QuickBooks Desktop if you've previously printed one before. Please see this article for the steps: Reprint A Paycheck.

We don't use commission at all and have never set it up. Everything is set up either hourly or salary. And it is just one or two employees that have Qty on the stub instead of hours. 

Good evening, @jstabler. 

Thanks for following up with us again. It's much appreciated. 

In QuickBooks Desktop, when you have some employees that are salary and some that are hourly, you'll see differences when printing their paychecks/paystubs. Salary employees will only show Qty, whereas hourly will show hours. To break this down a bit more after conducting research, hourly employees will only show hours if you choose to print paycheck instead of choosing to print paystub. You can see my screenshot differences below. 

You can see more details in Print pay stubs in QuickBooks Desktop.

The employee is hourly, not salary, and Qty shows on her actual pay stub that prints with her paycheck.  I also went back and looked. Every other hourly employee's pay stub says Hours. I have no idea why she's different. She's set up exactly like all of our other employees.

Let's get this sorted out, jstabler.

I appreciate the screenshot you're provided. To isolate this issue, ensure that your employee's earnings set up is set to hourly.

If it's already been set to hourly, verifying and rebuilding your data is a good start when it comes to fixing payroll-related issues in QuickBooks Desktop.

To Verify Data:

1. Choose Window at the top, then Close All.
2. Choose File.
3. Hit on Utilities.
4. Click Verify Data.

To Rebuild Data:

1. Choose File.
2. Click on Utilities.
3. Hit Rebuild Data.
4. You will receive a warning message to backup your company file, press OK.
5. Click OK when you get the message "Rebuild has completed".

Once done, try to access and check your employee's pay stub. You can get more details about printing paychecks or pay stubs in the following articles below. Also, this will provide you steps on how to print multiple pay stubs in QuickBooks Desktop as well as the link in resolving printing issues:

Please get back to me if you continue to get the same results so I can look further into this. I'll be around to help you out.

@BigRedConsulting  Thank you so much!  I guess I was so focused when everyone was talking about commission that the bonus thing never occurred to me. We did give out a few bonuses at the beginning of the golf season, which we don't typically do. This employee was the only hourly employee to get one.

Also, thank you to everyone who offered suggestions. It is very much appreciated!

Good afternoon, jstabler. I'm happy to hear you found out why some employee's pay stubs are showing quantity instead of hours.
