You've come to the right place, @kimballistheman. I'll gladly show you how you can add Fringe Benefit to your payroll.

We can start by enabling the Fringe Benefit inside the employee profile. Here's how:
 

  1. Go to Payroll, then Employees.
  2. Select your employee then, from the How much do you pay, click the pencil icon.
  3. From Additional pay types, then select the relevant fringe benefit.
  4. Then select Save and Done.

After that, we can now enter a value of a fringe benefit on a paycheck. We can follow the steps provided below:
 

  1. Please make sure the Fringe Benefit pay type has already been applied to the employee.
  2. Go to Payroll menu, then Employees.
  3. Select Run Payroll.
  4. Enter the employee's regular pay and the amount of the fringe benefit in the fringe benefit field you previously added.
  5. Preview and Submit the payroll.
     

For additional details about the process, you can refer to this article: Add fringe benefits to pay checks.
