QBO - Advance Payroll - Automated Overtime payments

I can't see a way of automating the overtime payments for my employees. My employees work for different clients and they pay different Overtime rates. I currently have to manually keep records fot he overtime and for each Payroll I add the overtime payments to the individuals pay.

 

 

I want to be able to set a number of normal hours against each employee and an overtime rate for any hours worked over and above this in a week, or on a day. This could be at a rate like, 1.25 times normal rate, 1.5 times, 2 times or a flat overtime rate payment. 

 

Without this automation it starts making payroll quite onerous. I've looked at rules but that doesn't seem to do it. Overtime is such a usual thing that there should be a way of automating this. 

 

Please let me know, either other users or the support team.

 

Thanks in advance

I’m glad to share some information with you concerning overtime payments, @RoscoPC.


I can see the benefit of having an automated setup for overtime payments to your business. However, this feature is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Online Payroll. You’ll want to record them manually since your employees have different overtime rates.


You can visit our QuickBooks blog site if you have available time. This page contains product updates like features, apps and more. It also provides news and details for future enhancements.


You can bookmark this QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll hub for future reference. This guide contains several processes you can perform using the payroll service.
