Time Entry Issues

I need to add hours for an employee.  Which I have done in the past by running the payroll report - "add timesheet".  Now this message is popping up

 

"........ is on the clock, and this timesheet overlaps with it.  Please Try an earlier clock-in or out time."

I have entered time this way for the last couple of years - I have never seen this error.

Also, the time is not overlapping anything.  I'm trying to add hours for days earlier in the week.

 

Anyone know how to get around this, or better yet, why this is happening at all.

 

Thank you,

Kimberly

I've got some details on why you're getting an error message when trying to add hours for an employee in QuickBooks Online (QBO), KW72.

 

One of the possible reasons why you've encountered that error message is that you may have recorded an entry that the employee's status is currently working. Please follow the steps below to review it:

 

  1. Go to the Time menu and select the Time Entries tab.
  2. Choose Timesheets and pick the employee's name.
  3. Navigate to the correct date and click the pencil icon or Edit button.
  4. Uncheck the Currently working status box.

  5. Enter the correct clock-out time, then tap Save.

 

However, I suggest contacting our customer care team if there are no pending time entries for employees who are tagged as currently working. They have the tools to look into your account and perform a screen-sharing session to investigate this behavior further. You can visit this resource that contains the time when support is available, depending on your type of subscription: Contact Payroll Support.

 

I've also added this article that will help you identify what specific report you will use to keep track of your books about payroll: Run payroll reports.

 

Kindly drop by again if you have any more inquiries regarding adding hours to your employees or any other QuickBooks-related activities. I'm eager to assist you at any time. Keep safe.
