How to Correct Hourly Rates Not Showing on Paychecks in QuickBooks Payroll
Start by going to the Payroll and Compensation tab in the employee record. If there is more than one payroll item listed, you need to make sure to enter the rate on every line. Also make sure that the box next to Use time data to create paychecks is checked.
If that’s not the problem, it could be that a payroll item was used on a timesheet that isn’t listed in the employee’s record. Go back to the timesheet and check to see what payroll items were used and then go back to the employee’s Payroll and Compensation Info tab to make sure they're all listed. You get a warning if you enter a payroll item on an employee’s timesheet that’s not setup in the employee’s record, including a warning that it’ll come over with a $0 rate, but it’s possible the warning was ignored.
