Question

I just ran payroll for the first time in QBO. How can I assign these paychecks to a specific project? I don't use T sheets or any other time tracking feature in QBO. I just manually enter in hours. I used to use QB Desktop where I could assign paychecks to a specific customer but I don't know how to do that in QBO.

Thank you for posting in the Community, @kusndc.

 

Let me share some insights about assigning paychecks to a project in QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll.

 

The option to assign a paycheck to a project is unavailable without using a weekly timesheet. On the other hand, since you already ran the payroll, you'll want to delete the old paycheck and create a separate one through an unscheduled paycheck.

 

Before doing so, please know that the option to make amendments to the paychecks depends on their status. Thus, you can delete the paychecks and regenerate the payroll if the status has not yet been processed.

 

For more information about editing payroll checks, visit this article: Edit a payroll paycheck

 

Once done, you can follow the steps below to utilize the timesheet and enter the total hours worked by your employee:

 

  1. Select the + New icon.
  2. Select Weekly Timesheet under Employees.
  3. Choose the employee or vendor's name and the week you want to record from the small arrow icons.
  4. Fill in the remaining fields.
  5. Choose Save.

Then, follow these steps to run an unscheduled payroll:

 

  1. Go to the Workers or Payroll menu, then select Employees.
  2. Select Run payroll.
  3. Find the employee you want to pay, and then select Create another check.
  4. Enter employee compensation, including any salary adjustments, vacation or sick hours, and other payment types.
  5. Confirm the pay period and check date.
  6. Select Preview Payroll, and then select Submit payroll.
  7. If creating a paper check, handwrite it or print the check and give it to the employee by the check date.
  8. Click Finish payroll.
