Tracking daily rate salary employees hours worked

Hi sally0297,

Thanks for reaching out. I'm glad to hear you're using QuickBooks Online Payroll to easily manage your employees' wages. Having the flexibility to edit your employees' settings is essential to ensure they always get accurately paid. I'll be happy to assist you with this.

Based on the information you've shared, it sounds like you're using QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll. When running payroll in this version, you can adjust a salary amount in a few clicks. Here's how to do that.

1. Go to Employees then Run payroll. 
2. Select the correct pay group and employee.
3. Double-check the pay period, pay date and bank account. 
4. Under Salary, click on the amount then select Adjust salary this time only.
5. Indicate the number of hours to be reduced.
6. Select Apply.

The system always keeps track of the number of hours worked for all types of employees. To view this information for a salary profile, you'll need to refer to your payroll reports, such as the Payroll Details report, as the pay stub will not include this. To learn how to run reports in the system, here's a useful article: Run reports in QuickBooks Online

I also recommend reaching out to one of our payroll experts to explore your options in more detail and make the best decision for your employees' settings. Here's how to get in touch.

Hi Sally - How do you go about paying the employees a day rate?  How did you set it up?

Any help is appreciated.
