how to pay employee by the piece instead of by the hour?

I want to set up an employee to be paid by the piece instead of by the hour.  If I use timesheets, I can post to the correct item within the job budget by then I have to use hours which doesn't work.  If I don't use timesheets and just create a paycheck, I can use a quantity of 1 and enter the amount of the piece work but in my perfect world, I would be able to enter a quantity and a price per piece associated with it.  Anyone know if that can be done?

Yes, use a Commission type item, which will let you enter a Qty and a Rate.

     Now that I have it set up properly and am entering line items for payroll how can I run a report to see what I've entered before I committ it to a paycheck?  I have several line items with several different jobs and I can't see it all in the Preview Paycheck window. I would like to print out the info to double check my data entry before I process the paycheck and post to the job.  I can't find any report so I ran the payroll but the paystub lumps similar rates as one line item and the jobs don't print on the stub.  Any help in where I can find a report that give me this info would be great!

    Hello, @cp1014.

     

    Allow me to join the thread and help share information about running payroll reports in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

     

    As of now, we don't have the option to open/run a report showing the items entered for payroll before creating a paycheck. I want to ensure customers like you are having the best possible experience while working with QBDT. If you want to run a report showing the items you've entered before creating a paycheck, I suggest sending feedback straight to our Product Developers/Engineers.

     

    To send feedback:

     

    1. Go to Help at the top menu bar.
    2. Select on Send Feedback Online.
    3. Click on Product Suggestion.

    Also, to learn more about running and customizing reports in QBDT, you may check this article: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop.

     

    Keep me posted if you have any other questions about running reports, I'd be glad to help you. Have a good day ahead!
