Question

Allocating time to a project

How do I allocate a portion of employee working hours to a project and the balance in an other project?

For example, I have an intern that is funded by Canada Summer Jobs and has to work for 40 hours/ week, in the QuickBooks Online, we created a project as her name under Canada Summer Jobs as customer to enter all her times in our company.

The problem is during a week, she might work in another project - Project A for 10% of her time (4 hours) so I cannot choose two project for allocating hours (One is project under her name, another one is project A) as there will be 4 hours additional in her payroll which is not true (she only works for 40 hours including 4 hours for project A) 

Do you have any suggestion? Thanks!

Hi GenieLab,

 

Welcome to the Community. QuickBooks provides a powerful Projects feature that simplifies the way you handle your projects. I'll be glad to share more info and provide the support you need in order to move forward with your work. 

 

The program gives you the flexibility you need in order to manage your projects. Based on what you've described, I recommend allocating time to the projects in question using the steps below: 

  1. Navigate to the Projects menu.
  2. Select your preferred project.
  3. Click on the Time Activity tab.
  4. Click on Track time.
  5. Enter the needed details of the Time Activity and click Save and close when done.

Here's a helpful article that provides more details about this: Set up and create projects in QuickBooks Online. 

 

I encourage you to check out the article and if you have questions, don't hesitate to reach back to me in the comments below. Otherwise, I wish you a great rest of the week.
