Hello, Vicki. 

 

I'm here to lend a hand and help you find out the different amounts in your employee's paychecks. 

 

Different hours entered on the payroll can affect the amounts on their paychecks. You'll want to go to the paychecks list and review the details from there. Here's how: 

 

  1. Go to Payroll, then select Employees.
  2. Click the Paycheck list link. 
  3. Find and open the recent paycheck then review the hours, details and pay types. 

 

If the hours entered are less than they should be, then you'll want to create another paycheck to cover the remaining hours:

 

  1. Go to Payroll, then click the Run payroll button.
  2. Select the employee's schedule. 
  3. Check the employee, then click the Create another check for (name) link. 
  4. Enter the missing hours and other pay details.
  5. Click Preview payroll, then review the check.
  6. Proceed with Submit payroll

 

However, if the employee has been overpaid, then there's a specific solution for this. I would recommend checking this article for the details: Reduce paycheck wages for an employee who has been overpaid.

 

If you also need to check on your employee's liabilities and current payroll amounts, you can run reports in QuickBooks. This article will help you familiarize the reports available: Run payroll reports.
