If a temporary employee was hired through an agency, how do we record the earnings in Box 81 versus Box 14 on their T4?

Hi there vivianwchow,

Thanks for reaching out about your T4 forms. QuickBooks Online Payroll is a great tool able to help you pay your employees for the hours they've worked. I can provide some information about T4 forms.

As per this article outlining how each pay type, deduction, and contribution in QuickBooks Payroll will affect the T4, if you're looking to affect Box 81, the T4 for this specific employee may need to be created outside of QuickBooks Payroll, as it's for a more specific employee type. I can see that this would be a feature that you'd like to see the help you with T4 creation in QuickBooks Online. I recommend leaving feedback in the system by clicking on the Gear icon, then Feedback. The comments made in that section are taken into consideration when designing new features for QuickBooks Online.
