Salaried Employee Rate Change

I have QB Desktop Pro. I need to update an employee's salary. The change is supposed to be effective mid-pay period (we pay every two weeks). Is there a way to do that? Or do we need to adjust when the new pay will take effect?

Hi there, StefL10702.

 

Currently, there's no way to update the employee's salary on the previous payroll. You'll need to adjust the new salary when the new pay takes effect. Then, I suggest going to the Employee Center so you can start updating the wage.

 

Here's how:

 

1. Click the Employees menu at the top and select Employee Center.

2. Double-click the name of the specific employee to open their information.

3. Choose the Payroll Info tab at the left pane.

4. On the Earnings section, enter the updated employee's salary under Hourly/Annual Rate column.

5. Hit OK.

 

I attached a screenshot below for visual reference.

 

 

Once done, you can refer to this article on how to run a report that tracks the employees' pay rate changes over a period of time: Employee Pay Adjustments History Report.

 

Please refer to this article on how you can deliver each pay stub as a PDF to your employee’s email address: Email pay stubs from QuickBooks Desktop.

 

I'm a post away should you need anything or have any questions. Have a good day!

??  Well, there is, but that's not an answer to the OP's question.

 

To update the salary on an existing paycheck edit the paycheck and change the salary.

@BigRedConsulting I am coming across a similar situation as ChurchGirl and I am hoping you can help. We have pastors who are making an appropriate change in their salary due to a change in their housing allowance. I basically need to reduce their salary amounts then increase their housing allowances (listed as an addition item). I did this for one pastor and I realized it was wrong when his salary was over for the month. In reading. I am realizing that we can't just do the simple math and subtract what they have already been paid and use that remaining number as their salary in the middle of the year. What would you suggest in this situation?

In this case for one payroll you'll need to manually calculate the salary and enter it on the paycheck as you create it.  Add 1/2 of the salary change to the prior salary and override the default on the paycheck.
