I can help you with that, saabou.

 

You can open the employee's profile from the Payroll menu. Then, edit edit their current salary. I'll show you how:

 

  1. Select Payroll from the sidebar menu.
  2. Head to the Employees tab.
  3. Click the appropriate employee name.
  4. Go to the How much do you pay [employee name]? section, then adjust the salary of the employee.
  5. Click Done to save the changes.

I've also included an article that you can read to help track your employee and payroll expenses in QuickBooks: Run payroll reports.

 

Do you have any other questions in mind? Feel free to leave them below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

I just ran across this issue and created a new payroll item to the list named payroll adjustment.

Go to lists, payroll items, add, EZ Setup, Compensation (Hourly) where it says show on paycheck, enter the name of the new item (payroll adjustment), click next, it should be linked to payroll expense account.

When you run payroll, you can find the item in the dropdown menu. Manually enter the amount in the rate column then enter 1 hour so it will calculate on the paycheck. It's not a perfect fix but it works. Hope this helps.

Has this really not been fixed - this problem still exists and was being discussed 4 years ago in this forum.

If fixed can someone help?

We are raising salaries during the pay period as our new fiscal year begins. 

QB - if you are going to respond, please just respond to this question and let me know the fix-no happy cheerful "We can help!" and then answering the question you want to answer. 

Thank you

I use QB Desktop so I'm not sure if this will help you.

Take the annual salary and divide it by 2080 (that's the annual hours for a salaried employee 40hr/week x 52/weeks) Add the hourly rate for your employee in the payroll info tab. If there are 2 different rates, you can add more than one hourly rate tab. Then pay the employee for the hours they worked for the specified payroll.

 

Example:

Employee worked 3 days - Salary $50K - $24.04 per hour

Employee worked 2 days - Salary $55K - $26.64 per hour

When you are in the "pre-view" check - be sure to make the salary amount 0.00 so it doesn't add the salary amount to the hourly amount.

Hello there, SharonH3. I'm here to help you enter your employee's salary.

 

When entering the increased salary of your employee in QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can add another pay type for the hourly wage where you'll input the additional rate of your employee per hour. Let me walk you through the process:

 

  1. Go to the Payroll menu at the left navigation panel and choose Employees Tax.
  2. Choose the name of your employee.
  3. Scroll down until you see the Pay types section, then press Edit.
  4. In the Set employee type section, find and click the + Add hourly pay.
  5. Enter your preferred name in this hourly pay type, then type the added hourly rate.
  6. Once done, press Save.

 

Once you're done adding another hourly rate, you can now run a payroll. Afterward, you can now input the work hours of your employees.

 

I'll also leave this material to learn about adding different hourly rates: Pay an employee differently.

 

Furthermore, you can run a payroll report and customize it according to your preference so that you can view the details of your employees.

 

I'll be around to help you whenever you have further questions about changing the rate of your employees. Feel free to leave them in the comment section.
