Can I enter a standard rate for additional pay types?

I appreciate you posting your queries here with us, kim-rjeikenberry. Let me guide you in setting up additional pay types for your employees and track how you can pay them.

When managing additional pay types, this would depend on how you will set up and modify its information when entering specific rates on each pay item. Just make sure this won't cause any negative balances in your accounting data. With this, you can also add multiple hourly rates/wages, bonuses, commissions, overtime, and fringe benefits items to pay them. To do this:

1. Go to Payroll and click Employees.
2. Select your employee and enter Start or Edit from the Pay types section.
3. Select the pay types you want to add or edit:

• Pay type ▼ for hourly, salary, or commission only. If your employee has multiple hourly rates, select Hourly 2 or Another hourly pay type. You can rename these hourly pay types.
• Common pay types ▼ for overtime, holiday pay, bonus, or commission. 
• Time off pay policies ▼ for paid time off like sick or vacation. Check out Set up and track time off in payroll to set up or change policies.
• Additional pay types ▼ for other pay types like tips, reimbursement, allowances, or fringe benefits. 

1. Enter the rates for each pay type.
2. You can rename some of the pay types. Select Edit ✎ next to the pay type. Then, select Save.

Once everything is good, you can now process your employees' payroll. And if in case you need to view your finances and their payroll information, feel free to utilize this reference: Run payroll reports.

Furthermore, I'm sharing this helpful reference that you may utilize when filing and paying employees' payroll forms and taxes electronically: Pay and file payroll taxes and forms electronically in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

I'm all ears to any added queries when handling pay types in your payroll account. Just keep me posted in this forum, and I'll make sure to get you covered. Keep safe and have a good one!
