Removing Salaried Employee from Using Timesheets to Create Paycheck

I am using QB Desktop and I have an employee that was recently changed from hourly to salary.

 

I would like to continue to track his time, but I don't want the timesheets to be used to create his paycheck. I set up the other salaried employees this way in the beginning, but I cannot figure out how to turn it off for just him now that it has been activated - I don't want to make a new, duplicate employee as I know that messes things up. Can this be done?

I can share some ways on how to remove the salaried employee from using Timesheets in creating paycheck, @Coywolf77.

 

We can uncheck Use Time Data to create Paychecks option in your employee profile. To do this, here's how:

 

  1. Open your QuickBooks file.
  2. Go to the Employee Center.  
  3. Double-click the employee's name.
  4. Choose the Payroll Info tab.
  5. Uncheck the box next to Use Time Data when Creating Paychecks.
  6. Once done, select OK.

Thank you! I was looking for a place on the TimeSheet, I didn't realize it was in the employee section. This should fix the issue. :)

This method did not remove the employee from Timesheets. I have synched several times after this method with no results. Please advise.

Welcome to the Community, BusAdmin.

 

To verify my understanding, are you trying to remove a newly salaried employee from your books? The process mentioned in Rubielyn_J's post will only prevent timesheets from flowing into Payroll, but won't remove them from QuickBooks Time.

 

If this is the case, you can remove their access from your My Team window. This prevents the employee from tracking time and prevents you from being billed for them.

 

Here's how:

  1. In your left navigation bar, go to My Team.
  2. Find the team member you'd like to make changes for.
  3. Under their Access column, click your Toggle icon if it's displaying a Blue color. This will make it display a Grey color, which means it's turned off.
  4. If you see a Turn undefined access off for this team member? window, select Turn off.

Thank you for your response!

I figured it out. Apparently, all employees were being synched with timesheets, but the salaried employees were being archived by our payroll person in timesheets removing them from active view. I had not noticed this due to not seeing the other employees names. They all appeared once I displayed "All" employees in Timesheets rather than just the active names. Still getting used to the user interface. Thanks again!
