I have a salaried employee who will be doing 2 jobs at 2 different annual pay rates.  How do I set this up?

    There isn't a way to do that QuickBooks using annual salary payroll items. In QuickBooks a salaried employee has one salary, which reflects US payroll regulations: Salaried employees have one fixed salary that is paid regularly for a period of work, like a week or two weeks or even a month.

     

    You can split that salary up between different salary items, but the salary total will stay the same, which is the correct behavior, regardless of how time worked is allocated to the different salary items on the earnings table of the paycheck.

    The problem I am having is when I pick different salary items, the software wants to divide the total salary evenly between the salary items.  I don't want it to evenly split the total salary because the jobs have a different salary.  How do I get around this issue?
