Welcome to the Community, @dert2003. I'm happy to guide you on changing the employee pay type in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

 

To do so, please follow the steps below how:

 

  1. Go to the Payroll menu, and select Employees.
  2. Choose your employee.

     
  3. From Pay types, select Start or Edit.
  4. 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.
  5. Enter the rates for each pay type.
  6. Rename some of the pay types. Select Edit ✎ next to the pay type.
  7. Click Save.

     

You can read through this handy article for further guidance. It includes details if you want to hide or remove pay types or pay items from your employee's paychecks: Add or change pay types.

 

I've also added this resource if you want to change your employee's information in the future: Edit or change employee info in payroll.
