Time imports

Thank you for bringing this QuickBooks Desktop time import issue to our attention, awc1493. I understand how frustrating it can be to deal with data discrepancies, especially when they impact critical employee time records. I appreciate your proactive approach to exploring various solutions, such as Excel imports and contacting QuickBooks support. I'm here to share insight and help you find an effective workaround to ensure accurate time data imports.

The discrepancy occurs due to the way QuickBooks handles and displays time entries. When you set the option to display time in decimal format, QuickBooks shows time in hundredths of an hour. However, there are only 60 minutes in an hour, which doesn't divide evenly into 100 parts.

As a result, some time entries are rounded to the nearest minute when saved and then displayed as the closest decimal equivalent to that saved value. This can sometimes lead to a .01-hour difference between what you import and what QuickBooks displays.

As a workaround, I recommend manually adjusting your time entries once imported into QBDT. While this may require extra effort, it will ensure the most accurate representation of employee work hours.

Additionally, I've included relevant articles that may assist you in managing employee time and payroll in QBDT. These resources guide you in generating comprehensive time reports and correctly setting up overtime pay, which is crucial for accurate time tracking and payroll management.

• Create a total hours worked by employee report
• Set up and pay overtime based on different hourly rates
