I appreciate you joining the thread, @nice42. Let me chime in and offer you an alternative on how to correct the job cost of your salaried employees.
Please know that the increase in cost is due to the inclusion of the employee's entire salary in the report of the project. With that in mind, you'll want to review and check whether the project is associated with the salary item in the Preview Paycheck page to review the paycheck.
In addition, it's also important to note that QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) bases the job cost on the entire salary of a salaried employee, regardless of the actual hours worked.
As a workaround, you can consider splitting the salary item for a single employee in your payroll to adjust the amounts. I'd be glad to show you how:
- Go to the Employee menu in your QBDT. Then, select Employee Center.
- Double-click on the employee to split the salary amount.
- Select the Payroll info tab.
- In the Earnings section, split the salary by adding another salary item.
- Review other details. Then, hit OK.
After this, run payroll and click on Open paycheck detail to review the details reflected.
Moreover, I can see the importance of having a direct way to correct the job cost for your salaried employees.
