Good day @dloftus.

 

I hope all is going well. I'm happy to help with steps to add pay types to your payroll. 

 

Here's how to create an hourly payroll item:

  1. Go to the Employees menu and choose Manage Payroll Items
  2. Select New Payroll Item
  3. Click Custom Setup and then Next.
  4. Select the Payroll Item Type (Wage) > Next
  5. Click the Wage payroll item type (Hourly Wages) > Next
  6. Select the item for regular, overtime, sick, or vacation pay. Then, Next
  7. Enter a name for the pay type. Click Next
  8. Select the correct Expense account we just set up or an existing one.
  9. Hit Finish.

Here is a list of supported pay types and deductions  for your reference. 

 

I'm happy to help with any additional questions about adding pay types or anything else. Just hit me up anytime!

I have these payroll types set up but when my employees clock in on quickbooks time, it's sending it to the default Regular Pay account. How do I get different employees to default to their particular pay type?
