I have been asking if I can get more pay type fields to add hourly rates in to. Need about 25 for each employee. Currently I utilize all the standard lines such as Overtime, sick, bereavement, and jury duty. In the other pay types I have union employees so they have multiple types of codes for example, Night OT, Night DT, Evening OT, Evening DT…. That is just to name a few and give you a general idea.

I'm glad you came here for support, WSAVO.

 

I'd be delighted to show you how to create additional pay types for each of your employees in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

  1. Go Payroll menu and choose Employees.
  2. Select name of the employee.
  3. Select Edit employee.
  4. Under How much do you pay. . ., select Add additional pay types.
  5. Choose the pay type that fits your purposes.
    • You may need to select Even more ways to pay. . . to make the pay type you're looking for available.
    • Enter an amount in the $ field to make the amount recurring, or leave it blank and just enter the amount when running payroll.
    • To rename or change the pay type, select the edit (pencil) icon beside the pay type's name.
  6. Select Done.

More of this information about managing pay types can be found in this article: Add or Change Pay Types in Online Payroll.

Thank you for the response, however the issue I'm having is in adding additional pay type "fields".  Right now I have ten fields per employee.  Our current employees require about 25 fields (Day Regular, Day Irregular, OT, DT, Evening Regular, Evening Irregular, Night OT, to name a few).  I need additional Pay Type "Fields" to accommodate all the different pay types.

You're welcome, @WSAVO. It's our pleasure to help.

 

I can share some information about adding fields. 

 

The feature to set additional pay type fields in QuickBooks Online (QBO) is currently unavailable. That would be a great addition to the current features that we have, so I’ll take note of it.

 

I also encourage you to leave the feedback from within the product. Here are the steps:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Feedback.
  2. Provide your product suggestion. 
  3. Click on Next to submit feedback.

 

You can check out this article for more information about providing feedback to make the program better: How do I submit feedback? .

 

Our developers might introduce this feature in the future. For now, I suggest checking out our QuickBooks Blog  for updates on the program. 

 

Please know that you can always drop by here if you still have questions about pay types or anything else. I will be happy to assist you further. Have a wonderful day!
