payroll timesheets

Thank you for the detailed information, jdolan14.

The Other Earnings hours default to the hours set up for the employee. If you want the hours to match the current week's total earnings, you can override the information by entering the hours manually. Make sure to do this before finalizing the pay run. 

On the Preview Paycheck window, enter the hours matching the current week's total. Click on Save & Next.

Let me know if you have other questions about payroll in QuickBooks Desktop.

I understand we can override manually, but is there no way to make the "Other Payroll Items" quantities match that week's "Earnings" hours?

Hi there, @ jdolan14.

The option to auto-match the payroll items to the earnings is unavailable. You’ll have to manually enter and change them to match the hours on the timesheet.

Also, you can have the average work per week by running the Payroll summary report and set it per week. There isn’t a single report in QuickBooks that’ll show all your desired information. As a workaround, you can pull up each report I mentioned and export and combine them in Excel.
