Managing Payroll Classifications in QuickBooks® Software
Situation
You have a client for whom you are using QuickBooks software for payroll. The client employs many salaried employees who are paid from several different classifications in each payroll cycle. You have gone through payroll setup and entered in all of the various classifications.
However, when it comes time to create a paycheck, you run into a snag. Only one classification is saved to a default value, such that subsequent paychecks default to the same class. How can you get through payroll without having to look up the classification and then re-enter classifications for each paycheck?
Response
When you are in the Time Sheet, choose the Employee Name for the current payroll cycle, and then select the Copy last Sheet button on the bottom left corner. This will bring in the last time sheet information, including the correct classification for the individual. Then all you have to enter are any changes for the period, if needed, such as change the actual time for each day for the week.
