Employee Tips

Hello there, dg311.

Let me share with you a few details about handling and recording tips in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

We'll need to determine first what kind of tips you're about to record in your book. If you've given tips to your employee directly through cash, it's the Cash tip that we'll have to enter in QuickBooks. On the other hand, if we added them to your employee's paycheck, we'll have to include the Paycheck tip option in your employee's details. 

Let's check about the difference between cash tips and paycheck tips. Once you've figured out, we can follow these steps to include the type of tip of your employee.  Here's how:

1. Go to Payroll on the left panel.
2. Within the Employees tab, find the name of the employee.
3. In the Employee details, click the Edit icon next to Pay.
4. In the How much do you pay section, tick the Cash Tip or Paycheck Tip.
5. Then, Done.
   
   

Then, manually record the amount on each employee's paycheck within your QBO account. Let's take a look at this sample screenshot:
