how do you track time for a contractor using QuickBooks workforce?

You can adjust time tracking in QuickBooks Online (QBO) Workforce. I’m here to help you with the process, Askmariconow.

 

First, make sure you have set up your contractor details in QBO/QB Time. This will make things easier. That way, you'll be able to track your contractors seamlessly. Follow these steps:

 

1. In QB Time, go to QuickBooks Payroll in the top right corner.

2. Click on Preferences and check the box for Import contractors as team members.

3. Close that window. Click on QuickBooks Payroll again and select Import. After the import is complete, go to My Team and check if all your contractors appear.

4. Click on each contractor and send them an invitation to track their time.

 

Next, ensure your contractor is fully set up before proceeding to step 5 in the article: Add your team and time-tracking options. Follow the next steps carefully. If this is from QBO, match the details you see on the screenshot for contractors in QB Time.

Finally, follow these steps to track and submit your time in QuickBooks Workforce:

 

1. Open your QuickBooks Workforce.

2. If prompted, log in with your credentials.

3. Select Track Time, then Time Clock.

4. If needed, choose your job or customer under Job or Customer.

5. Enter any required fields, like Notes, if necessary.

6. Click Clock In. Your timer will start.

 

For more details on time tracking, refer to the article: Track and submit your time on QuickBooks Workforce.

 

Additionally, I've added this article that'll help you learn more about customizing QuickBooks Time: About QuickBooks Integration Preferences in QuickBooks Time.

 

If you find yourself needing a little bit more help with managing your time-tracking for a contractor, I'm always here and ready to lend a hand.
