Add or change pay types
by Intuit•61• Updated 2 weeks ago
Learn how to set up additional pay items in QuickBooks Online Payroll and QuickBooks Desktop Payroll. And how to handle pay types you don’t use anymore.
On top of your employee’s regular salary or hourly rate, you can also add multiple hourly rate/wage, bonus, commission, overtime, and fringe benefits items to pay them.
We’ll show you how to add these pay items in QuickBooks, and what to do if you no longer use them.
Note: Not sure which payroll service you have? Here's how to find your payroll service. |
- Overtime is extra pay for hours worked beyond the regular work hours.
- You only have to pay overtime if it's explicitly stated in your employee's contract.
- If you pay overtime, the contract should state the overtime pay rate.
- QuickBooks allows for overtime multipliers of 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0. If you have a different multiplier you will need to create a new pay type.
- For more information on overtime rights, check the official GOV.UK website.
- Bonuses are extra payments, like a thank-you or for special occasions.
- Bonuses are considered earnings, so you must deduct taxes and report them to HMRC.
- For more information on Bonus payments, check the official GOV.UK website.
