Set up custom pay periods in QuickBooks Time

Learn about custom pay periods in QuickBooks Time that you can edit or turn off for your account.

Note: You'll be able to see your timesheets and a weekly breakdown, but you can't see your custom pay period in the overview section of QuickBooks Workforce. You can only view custom pay periods on the web dashboard. If your custom pay periods import from an integration, they need to be managed there.

We recommend this for accounts that don’t have standard pay periods.

Turn custom pay periods on or off

1. In QuickBooks Time, go to Company Settings.
2. Select Payroll & Overtime, then Pay Schedule. 
3. In the Pay Schedule dropdown, select Custom.
   1. To turn this off, change your selection from Custom to another pay schedule.
4. Enter in at least 2 pay period end dates, then Save.
