Employees and payroll

Hi Prime 12, 

 

Yes I did but it’s not done the way it should be and it’s not near as easy as QuickBooks online tells you it is. It is not tracked by class but instead by customer/project, because we use a separate software called contractor foreman for our employees to log all of their time on those timesheets, and then it merges with QuickBooks online, and basically enters the timesheet information from that software into QuickBooks online timesheets for us by job site/job costs etc. It is actually the only reason that it works with QuickBooks online because what I have noticed is if I manually change anything in the time sheets in QuickBooks or if I manually enter a timesheet, then it does not show up on the reports correctly. So basically, without the other software, merging and syncing into QuickBooks online, it just does not work. Basically, Quickbooks says it does but even they can’t tell you how to make it work. I literally spent three months every week spent hours working on this and no one could help me from Quickbooks.
basically this is how it works for us: from contractor foreman when it merges into QuickBooks, it syncs the “projects” in contractor foreman as sub customers in QuickBooks online. Then on the timesheets when it syncs with QuickBooks online, it codes it to that project/sub customer on the Qbo timesheets. So after you run payroll using those timesheets, then you can run a report in QuickBooks online and customize it by customer and it will show your job cost correctly under the columns for that project/sub customer.. this is the only work around I’ve been able to find as Qbo employees have yet to fix this issue in their software. It’s very sad because it is something that they offer, however, they have admitted to me that they have not tested it out and not real sure how it works or if it even works at all, so they really should not be offering this as a service that comes with the really expensive software that we already pay for.. huge disappointment! 
hope this info helps you somehow.
