If your employees perform different jobs and are paid at different rates, you can set up multiple hourly rates in QuickBooks, Bire. I'll show you the step-by-step process below.
 

Here's how:
 

  1. Open QuickBooks and navigate to the Payroll section.
  2. Select the employee you want to edit.
  3. In the Pay Types section, click on Edit.
  4. Click on +Another hourly rate to add a new rate. To add a percentage go to the Common pay types listed below.
  5. You can change the Pay Type name if needed. Enter the rate per hour.
  6. If you need to add more pay rates, repeat steps 4 and 5.
  7. Once you have entered all the necessary rates, click Save.
     

In QuickBooks, the rates are set as flat rates. For roles like the insurance biller, you will need to manually calculate the amount and enter it into the appropriate field when processing payroll for that employee.
