I'm here to share some details about this, ProstructInc.
In QuickBooks Payroll Elite, we're unable to waive the $10 fee for the two employees. When you run the payroll, the fee will be automatically charged.
As a workaround, you'll want to consider manually running payroll for these employees outside the program.
Regarding access, admins have all permissions. They are allowed to track and manage employee time, including their own. To prevent this, I suggest adding them as a Payroll Manager instead. For more details, please see this article: Team Member Settings and Permissions in QuickBooks Time.
Once done, your payroll managers can create time off for your team members and approve or deny time off requests or approve, unapprove, and reject timesheets in QuickBooks Time on the web dashboard.
Please keep us posted if you need additional assistance managing your employees' access or payroll. We're always here to help you out.
