Hi, I was wondering how to custom a employee pay type name. I would like an additional reimbursements type called subsidence reimbursement?

Hi @crystal26 , you could add payroll type in QBO payroll. Here the steps: 

QuickBooks Online Payroll

1. Select Workers or Payroll menu > Employees.
2. Select name of the employee.
3. Select Edit employee.
4. Under How much do you pay. . .,select Add additional pay types.
5. Select the pay type that fits your purposes.
   • You may need to select Even more ways to pay. . . to make the pay type you're looking for available.
   • Enter an amount in the $ fieldto make the amount recurring, or leave it blank and just enter the amount when running payroll.
   • To rename or change the pay type, select the edit (pencil) icon beside the pay type's name.
6. Select Done.

Hi kellyd3,

Allow me to clarify the steps on how to edit the Pay Type information and what you can information you can change.

If you want to have a specific name for a pay type you'd need to create a new one. At this time there is not a way to edit an already created pay type. In order to see what pay types are set up for an employee you can go to: Payroll>Employees>Select the employee>Select Edit employee>Go to step 4. Once there it should look like this.

Beside Additional pay types there should be a pencil icon like the one highlighted above. From there you can create a new pay type with the name you want.

If you don't see a pencil icon on this page I recommend clearing your cache and cookies and opening QuickBooks in a private browser such as Google Chromes Incognito mode.

If you have any questions please feel free to reach back out and we'd be happy to help!
