How do I pay a salaried employee for just one week?

Hi kara-walker-p3a-,

It's vital you're able to pay your staff for the time you've specified and I'd be happy to assist you with this. The payroll module in QuickBooks makes it simple to manage your employees allowing you to save time for the things you love. 

Based on what you've described, I recommend editing your employee's pay by clicking Payroll > Employees > click on the employee's name > hit the Edit button  > from here, you can adjust the employee's salary. It's important to make sure the info saves properly. Once you've adjusted the employee's salary, you can proceed with paying them for the week's worth of pay. Another option would be using Other earnings as a pay type to cover the one week's worth of pay. Other earnings are taxable payments to your employee and they are separate from regular wages, such as retroactive pay increases and severance pay. The amounts are included in the wage base and used to calculate percentage-driven deductions. QuickBooks doesn't automatically include the hours worked. You'd have to manually calculate the dollar amount of the earnings and enter those amounts on your run payroll screen to reflect the additional pay. 

Let me know if this info helps. I'll be here in case you have other questions.
