How do I pay an employee on SMP for KIT days in Standard payroll?

Hi beverley-bridgec

Thanks for joining the Community.

There's no feature for Keep in touch (KIT) days in QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll, however, you can create an additional pay type to record this on the employees pay slip. To do this:

1. Go to Payroll and select Employees (Take me there).
2. Select the applicable employee.
3. Select Actions (at the top right of the page), then select Additional pay.
4. Select or search for the pay type you want to add. If you can’t find the pay type you’re looking for, you can add a customized pay type by selecting the plus sign icon.

5. Select Save when complete.

The new pay type will then be added to the employee record. The pay type is also added to the company settings, so that you can use it for other employees. To include or exclude this earning pay type in your employee’s pay, select the slider to turn it on or off in the employee record. You can change the default amount when you run payroll.

Note: When you add a new pay type, it's automatically added to your Pensionable pay types and reported to your pension provider as a pensionable earning. Unless you have already set up this pay type as a pensionable earning with your pension provider, go to the Gear icon > Account and settings > Payroll. Scroll down to Pension pay types, then select the slider next to the pay type to turn it off. If you want this new pay type to be included in pensionable earnings, you must let your pension provider know.
