Employees and payroll

Thanks for joining this conversation, mccombserv.

I can add some clarification on how time data in QuickBooks Desktop works.

For salaried employees, once you check the Use time data to create paychecks button on their profile, QuickBooks Desktop will populate the billable hours on the paycheck and use their salary rate. However, if you have multiple items on the timesheet, QuickBooks will spread out the salary amount according to their number of hours on each item. If this isn't working for you, uncheck the Use time data to create paychecks button and manually enter them on the employee's paycheck.

Please follow the steps above on how to uncheck the time data option on the employee's profile. Then, manually enter the hours on the paycheck.

Here's how:

1. Click Employees at the top.
2. Choose Pay Employees.
3. Select Scheduled or Unscheduled Payroll from the list.
4. Choose the employee you want to create a paycheck.
5. Click the Open Paycheck Detail button.
6. Enter the hours and customer or job.
7. Click Save & close.

You can always go back to the article I provided above for further guidance.

Following these steps should get you back in line.

I'd appreciate if you can update me about the results after trying the steps above, so I can assist if there's anything else you need. I'm cheering you to continued prosperity.
