QBOPayroll: Salaried employees, paid bi-weekly. How does QBO payroll handle a payroll year with 27 pay period for salaried employees?

Hi there Jesse-Blades,

It's vital that all your employee's information is set up properly so that you can pay them the right amounts. QuickBooks Online Payroll is a great tool able to help you calculate your employee's payroll and there is also the option to pay them by either cheque or direct deposit. I can provide some assistance with setting up an employee with a salary.

In order to set up an employee to have a fixed salary, you can navigate to the Payroll tab, then Employees. Click on the name of the employee you'd like to affect, then Edit Employee. Scroll down until you see the section titled How much do you pay (name of your employee)? You'll then be able to edit this section to add a salary for the year, for the month, or for the week.

In order to set up your pay period and pay date, you can scroll down to the section titled How often do you pay (name of your employee? You can set up their pay to be biweekly, and select the next pay date in order to make sure that they are getting paid on the right day and have 27 pay periods in the year.
