What is the procedure to pay employee on a monthly salary and not on hourly base.

Any assistance will be highly appreciated.

Kind Regards.

I'm here to help you, Allmer. Let's get the salaried employee set up.

 

First, let's set up the salary payroll item. Here's how:

  1. Click Lists, then go to Payroll Item List.
  2. Click Payroll Item, then select New.
  3. Select Custom Setup, then click Next.
  4. Select Wage, then click Next.
  5. In the Wages window, select Annual Salary, then click Next.
  6. Select Regular Pay, then click Next.
  7. Enter the desired name, then click Next.
  8. Select the expense account, then click Next.

Next, let's add the employee and set up the salary item. You can follow these steps:

  1. Click Employees, then select Employee Center.
  2. Click New Employee.
  3. Enter the employee's information in the Personal tab.
  4. Go to the Payroll info tab.
  5. In the PAYROLL SCHEDULE section, click the drop-down arrow, then select Add New.
  6. Set up the monthly payroll schedule, then click OK.
  7. Under EARNINGS, select the payroll item created earlier, then enter the annual rate.
  8. Click OK.

Then, when you create the paychecks, QuickBooks will calculate the monthly payment automatically. The amount is based on the payroll schedule selected and the amount entered (annual rate).

Thanks for your assistance.  I have followed the procedure you suggested to set up the payroll but when I try to pay employee my pay check is not showing the rate I entered for employee in pay info. Attached are the screen shots. Kindly help to look into this. Regards.

Thanks for getting back here and adding a screenshot, Allmer.

 

I'd like to share some steps to help you find the payroll item.

 

In the Preview Paycheck window under Earnings, select the scroll button to see all the payroll items listed from the Payroll Info. 

 

 

If you're still unable to see the payroll item, you'll want to review the setup. Before doing so, please make sure you are on the latest version of QuickBooks Desktop and tax tables.

 

Then, follow the steps under Details in this article: Payroll items on paycheck are not calculating or are calculating incorrectly.

 

Please let me know how it goes on your end. I want to make sure this is resolved for you. Keep safe!
