Hello, @Dailyn-Ward.

 

Direct Deposit in QuickBooks Online is the process of sending an employee's net pay to their bank account.

 

However, it does not include class details in the deposit transaction. Do you mean you want to track jobs when processing payroll? If so, I'll share some steps on how to do this in QBO.

 

First, we need to set up jobs as projects. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to My apps, then Projects.
  2. Select New project.
  3. Enter the necessary details.
  4. Hit Save once done.

 

Next, track the worked hours (Timesheet) or hourly labor costs in the Projects menu. Please refer to this article for a detailed guide: Track hourly labor costs and profitability by project in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

After you enter the hours, they will automatically show up when creating paychecks. Please view this article for the detailed steps on how to create and send paychecks in QBO: Create and run your payroll.

 

We're ready for the next question whenever you are.
