Question

I used to set charge out rate for employees but do not see the option now. Is there a way to make charge out rate for each employee?

Thank you for reaching out, @Constructo.

 

The term "charge out rate" is generally referred to as the Billable Rate/Hour in QuickBooks Online. The option to add a Billable Rate in the employee's profile is currently unavailable. I recommend submitting feedback to our product developer team to have this in the future updates.

 

Here's how to submit feedback:

 

  1. Head to the Gear icon. 
  2. Click the Feedback option. 
  3. Enter your thoughts, then select Next.
  4. Follow the on screen steps. 

 

Alternatively, we can manually add a Billable Rate in QuickBooks in the time entry screen. Here's how:

 

  1. Head to My apps, then Time entries
  2. Go to Add time, then choose either Single Time Activity or Weekly Timesheet
  3. Select the Employee from the Name dropdown. 
  4. Select the Customer/Project
  5. In the Service dropdown, select the Service item we created. 
  6. Check the Billable box, manually enter the charger-out rate for that employee (e.g., $10/hr).  
  7. Enter the timed worked in the Duration box and add a Notes if needed.
  8. Click Save and Close.

 

When you invoice the customer, the Billable time we enter will be in the Suggested transactions to availably add. See the screenshot:
