How do I enter 2 hours from the week before without it causing the employee to go into overtime

Hello there, soehlberg.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can add hourly pay for 2 hours without causing overtime for an employee.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Payroll menu and choose Employees.
2. Select your employee.
3. From Pay types, select Start or Edit.
4. Click + Add hourly pay.
5. You can change the Pay type name if you want.
6. Enter the Rate per hour.
7. Repeat steps 4-5 if you need more pay items. 
8. When finished, select Save.

After that, you can add it to the current week using the hourly rate.
