How can I add additional hours to an employee's paycheque that doesn't have an associated project? Do I have to create another pay type?

Hello MarianneMurphy,

I appreciate you reaching out to us here. I can see the importance of being able to add additional hours to an employee's paycheque and I'll be happy to help. 

Based on what you've described, I recommend creating an additional pay type so you can pay the employee the remaining hours. Here's how you can add an additional pay type in QuickBooks: 

1. Select Payroll menu > Employees.
2. Click on the name of the employee.
3. Navigate to Edit employee.
4. Under How much do you pay. . ., click on Add additional pay types.
5. Select the pay type that fits your purposes and fill in the necessary info.
6. Hit Done.

Give this a try and let me know how you make out. I'll be on standby in case you have other questions. Otherwise, enjoy the rest of your day.
