How to Enter Volunteer Hours in QuickBooks
Published 07/29/2011 | 
Hi Ruth! My nonprofit is required to track volunteer hours for grant matching funds/like kind donations. I have created a list of our volunteers in the “other names list” but I would like to use the employee list because I think it keeps track of total hours as I add the volunteer hours logged. Is there a way to use the employee list but not have it associated with payroll?
You can enter other names in timesheets and that’s what you should be using to track your volunteer time. You can even make it billable if you want. The time reports are in Reports > Jobs, Time & Mileage.
You can access time sheets from either the Customers or Employees dropdown menus in Enter Time > Use Weekly Timesheet.

Great idea. I will use this feature to track my own volunteer hours instead of in excel.
