adjusting a salary

Hi there, @vswisher. Thanks for taking the time to reach out to the Community for support. I'm very eager to share some workarounds and information about adjusting an employee’s salary.

As a workaround, you can set up an additional payroll item and add it to your next payroll.

Here's how:
 

1. Select Lists, and select Payroll Item List.
2. Select Payroll Item, and select New.
3. In the Select Setup Method window, select Custom Setup, and select Next.
4. Select Addition, and select Next.
5. In the Name Used In Paychecks And Payroll Reports window, in the Enter Name For Addition field, enter the name of the new Addition payroll item.
6. Enter the details need, then click Finish when done.
   
   

 
I'm adding these articles for further guidance in managing your payroll items.

• Edit a payroll item in QuickBooks Desktop.
• Edit payroll items used on paychecks.
• Add or Change Pay Types in Online Payroll.
