Welcome to the Community, tarryn-manning-m!

 

Are you referring to the payroll feature when you say QuickBooks Online Employee Management? If so, QuickBooks Online Australia has a payroll feature where you can turn on the feature and set up and pay your employees by creating and finalising a pay run.

 

Here's how to subscribe to payroll:

 

  1. Log in to QuickBooks Online.
  2. Click on the Gear Icon.
  3. Click on Account & Settings.
  4. Click on Billing & Subscription.
  5. You'll see an option to Subscribe payroll.
  6. Enter your payment information to complete the payroll subscription.

Once done, you can then click on the Employees tab in QuickBooks Online and set up your payroll account and start adding your employees.

Apologies, I must have put this under Payroll category in error - not sure how to change that?

I can see within QuickBooks Online Advanced there is an Employee Expense Management module - where employee's can submit expense claims, you can review them and then create expenses.  Assuming this is only available in USA and not AUS as yet?

Thanks for getting back to us, tarryn-manning-m.

 

That is right the QuickBooks Online Advanced is currently offered in the USA region. If you need to add an expense reimbursement for an employee on your pay run, you can create an expense category in your payroll settings, and then can add it to your pay run.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click on the Employees tab.
  2. Click on Payroll Settings.
  3. Click on Expense Categories.
  4. Click on Add button.
  5. Enter the name of the expense category.
  6. Click on Save.

If you wanted to add the expense category as a recurring expense, you can assign it as a payrun inclusion under the employee details. Here's how:

 

  1. Click on the Employees tab.
  2. Click on the employee name click on Pay run Inclusions.
  3. Under Expenses click on Add and select the expense category created
  4. Fill out other fields.
  5. Click on Save.

 

Furthermore, if you needed to check the expense category in your payroll chart of accounts. You can check it using the steps below:

 

  1. Click on the Payroll Settings.
  2. Click on Chart of Accounts.
  3. Click on Default accounts.

You can also check this link here about Adding Employee Expenses to a Pay Run and Set up and configure payroll chart of accounts.
