Question

How do I add PTO as an option to choose from in the JOB box within the Timesheets Editor? Currently it shows unpaid breaks as an option but I would like to add PTO also.

Let me clarify how to manage Paid Time Off (PTO) in QuickBooks Time, Michelle.

 

When using the Timesheet Editor to enter time entries, you won't see the option to add PTO directly in that section. Instead, PTO should be added separately through the Time Off section.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. In the left menu, choose Time Off.
  2. Select Add Time Off.
  3. Choose a code, date of entry, and number of hours on that day.
  4. (Optional) Add another day for the same code.
  5. (Optional) Add notes.
  6. Select Save or Send Request.

 

For more details about adding time off, check out this article: Add or request time off in QuickBooks Time web. It also includes information on how to request time off and view time off balances.

 

Once you have completed this, you can approve, unapprove, or reject timesheets.
