Question

Managing Unique Hourly Rates for Time Activities in Payroll

Hello QBO Community,

 

I run an in-home health care agency, and I use a separate tool to schedule my carers. For each shift, I assign a unique hourly rate for the same employee. For example:

  • On Monday, a carer might earn $20/hour.
  • On Thursday, the same carer might earn $16/hour for a different shift.

 

These rates are not billable rates for invoicing—they are specific pay rates for payroll purposes.

 

My Questions:

 

  1. How can I reflect these unique hourly rates per time activity in QuickBooks Online when running payroll?
  2. Is there a way to manage this dynamically through the QuickBooks Online API?

 

Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
