EE changing pay in the middle of the pay period

@Karilyn26  Presumably, while you are preparing this person's paycheck, QBO would allow you to add an extra Hourly line at the increased rate.

The old rate would have the hours for all but the last day.

The new rate would have the hours for the last day.

It would be that easy in QuickBooks Desktop, anyway; about 5 seconds of work.

Probably a coin flip whether QBO has such an amazing capability, though.

Hello, @Karilyn26. It’s great to see you taking the initiative with payroll management! I’m here to guide you through the process and ensure everything is handled accurately.

To implement the pay increase for the last day of the pay period in QuickBooks, you can create a new hourly pay type for the employee. This will help you separate the two pay rates. When processing payroll, enter the hours worked on that day at the new rate under this pay type.

Here's how:

Create a New Hourly Pay Type

1. Navigate to Payroll, then Employees.
2. Choose the employee to open their details.
3. Click Edit under the Pay types section.
4. Select + Add hourly pay under Set working hours/days.
5. Enter a name for the Pay type (like "New hourly rate") and specify the Rate per hour.
6. Hit Save to apply your changes.

Run Payroll

1. Return to Payroll, then Employees.
2. Click Run payroll.
3. Pick a pay schedule, then Continue.
4. Ensure the Pay period and Pay date are set correctly.
5. Check the box for the employee.
6. Under the new hourly pay type you just created, enter the hours worked on the last day of the pay period.
7. For hours worked before the last day, continue using the original hourly pay type.
8. When you're ready, hit Preview payroll and then Submit Payroll.
