in budget vs actual i want to separate every employee's paycheck from our fiscal year to their job title so we can keep track of their totals for the year so we can budget for it the next year but i have some employees paychecks going to their title and some going to wages instead of their title

That is a lie as I figured it out on my own without the help of any of the 6 QuickBooks employees that I got into contact with you go to your gear settings and click on payroll settings- go down to Accounting and hit edit- go to wages expenses and hit edit- then you click on each employee’s wages are posted to their own expense account. And if you have different job titles set up in your payroll expenses budget then you can associate whatever employee you need to their specific roll!

Thank you for dedicating your time to share your concern here in the Community. 

 

I can see the importance of associating employee payroll with their job title instead of wages when running Budget vs. Actual report as this will greatly help your business. Please know that the option you're looking for is not possible in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

And if you have different job titles set up in your payroll expenses budget then you can associate whatever employee you need to their specific roll!  Hopefully this helps someone else out that can't get their point across to QuickBooks people even though you screen shared with them and show them exactly what you wanted help with!
