Question

Multiple Contract Employees

We have two contract employees that we pay through the same vendor(contractor) but we want to track their time for each contract employee separately. 

Basically Contractor A gets paid for the work Contract-Employee 1 and Contract-Employee 2 perform. Contractor A is responsible to pay Contract-Employee 1 and Contract-Employee 2. We want to track what projects Contract-Employee 1 and Contract-Employee 2 work on separately, but we also need to send a 1099 for all the payments made to Contractor A.

One thought I had was using sub-vendors (similar to sub-customers) but I see that functionality is not available. 

 

Ultimately, we would like to use Quickbooks Time(workforce) to track the time of both Contract-Employee 1 and Contract-Employee 2. 

Any suggestions on how to set up Contractor A and both Contract-Employee 1 and Contract-Employee 2 to achieve this?

 

Thanks in advance

Hello there, MoreMoney. I see you want to track each contract employee's time separately with the same vendor for your business. 

Currently, this functionality is unavailable for both QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Time. I understand how beneficial this is for your business, so I recommend sending feedback to our product development team. They'll carefully review all ideas and suggestions and may consider them for future updates.

 

To send feedback:

 

  1. In your QuickBooks Online, select the Gear icon, then choose Feedback.
  2. Type in your product suggestions.
  3. Select Next to submit.

 

In the meantime, you can consider exploring a third-party time management app that offers this as an alternative solution. You can directly visit our QuickBooks App Store or go through the Apps menu in your product.

 

Let me assist you with how to do it:

 

  1. In your QuickBooks Online, click Apps from the left panel, then go to the Find Apps tab.
  2. From the search bar, type in the keyword to look for an app.
  3. Once done, you can choose an app from the lists that suits your business needs. 

 

Moreover, you can set up a break feature in QuickBooks Time. This option lets you track your team members' paid and unpaid daily breaks. 

 

You can add a comment on this thread anytime you need assistance tracking your employees. I'm still here to help you out. Best wishes!
