I'm here to help share some ways on how you can pay your casual employee in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @jeffreyjollymore.

 

If you'll be reporting W2 forms to the state by end of the year, you must include your employee on your payroll.

 

To add the employee:

 

  1. Log in to your QuickBooks Online account.
  2. Click on Workers at the left pane.
  3. Select Employee.
  4. Click on Add an employee.
  5. Enter the employee's information.
  6. Click on Save.

On the other hand, if you'll be reporting 1099 for that employee, you can add it as a contractor.

 

  1. Click on Workers at the left pane.
  2. Select Contractors.
  3. Click on Add a contractor.
  4. Follow the on-screen pop-up to finish the setup.

You can also read these articles for additional reference about running in QBO:

 

As always, feel free to add a comment below if you have any other questions on how to pay your employee. I'm just a post away to help.
