Hello and welcome to the Community, jameykragh.

 

I'll help you go over the steps on how to add the information. Please take note that some setup like the pay info or history will not be available without the payroll subscription.

 

Here's how you can add the employee:

 

  1. Go to Payroll > Employees.
  2. Click the Add employee button.
  3. When you get the Need to pay employees? prompt, select the Not right now button.
  4. Enter your employee details and hit Save.

If you're using another service to run payroll and still want to keep track of the paychecks in QuickBooks, you can create a journal entry. Doing so will keep your all payroll and account data in one place.

 

The step by step instruction for creating the journal entry and the accounts affected are included in this article: Manually enter payroll paychecks in QuickBooks Online.

 

In case you decide to enable the Payroll feature in the future, you can edit the employee and add their pay details. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Payroll > Employees.
  2. Select the employee's name.
  3. Click the pencil icon next to Pay and edit their info.
  4. Hit Done.
