We have a grant, for which we need to track the cost of such things as preparation work hours, for an exempt employee. Since there is no paycheck associated with these hours, how do we get the cost based on the employee's hourly wage on our job budget and actual?
You can use Timesheets (Employees > Enter Time). If it’s a new employee, select Yes when QuickBooks asks if you want to use timesheet data when you write their first paycheck. If it’s not a new employee, you need to change the employee’s record. Click on their Payroll Info tab and check the box next to “Use time data to create paychecks”.
If we helped solve your problem, please consider posting a review for us!
