Join nowHello,
Please correct me if I am wrong, but if I am paying an employee hourly who will be filling out/turning in time sheets, do I need to check the box for "Use time data to creat paychecks" under the Payroll Info tab for that specific employee? Or, am I OK to manually input their hours worked based off of their turned in time sheet?
I guess I am almost looking for a "definition" of what exactly checking the box for "use time data to create paychecks" means and what it will do?
I would hate to assume.
Thank you very much in advance!
If you check the box, then time recorded using the QuickBooks time feature for the employee for the pay period dates - recorded before you create paychecks - will be summarized and pasted in to the earnings table of the paycheck. You can then edit it if needed.
You can also use the time feature in QB and not use the resulting time for payroll (don't check the box in this case.)
on this same line of questioning. How do I add OT to the timesheets?
Thanks,
Peita
I know some information regarding adding Over Time (OT) in timesheets, PEITA.
In QBDT, adding an OT within the timesheets is currently unavailable. You can only add regular hours to it. On the other hand, as you add regular hours to your timesheets, you can manually create a paycheck with overtime pay afterward.
Here's how:
Step 1: Create the overtime pay item
Step 2: Add the item to the employee
Step 3: Create a paycheck with overtime pay
Additionally, you can view this material to see further details regarding adding OT in QBDT: Add overtime pay to an employee.
I'll also leave this material for you to use as a future reference in case you'd like to learn how to set up direct deposit to pay your employees and contractors in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll: Set up your company payroll for direct deposit.
I'm always ready to lend a helping hand in case you have anything to ask or need some clarification.
