Employees and payroll

I understand how you want someone to contact you with the updates of Alabama Overtime Exemption. I'm here to provide you to guide you on the what should be the process, PR Mgr.

 

After thorough evaluation, our engineers have determined that what is happening working as designed and isn't a bug of the program. To make sure sure that AL Overtime Exemption is calculating correctly and working fine, ensure that OT item being used with employees paychecks is the OT item created by the QuickBooks payroll program through the payroll item EzSetup display with the following name Overtime (x1.5) hourly.

 

 

 

 

 

If the item was created as custom item type, you'll have to create a new OT item using the payroll item EZ set up and merge the customer OT item into the New OT item created.

 

Once done add the new AL - OT Withholding Exemption to the employee profiles. To do so, follow the steps below:

  1. Go to the Employees menu, then select Employee Center
  2. Click the pencil icon on the upper-right corner.
  3. Under the Payroll Info tab, click Taxes.
  4. Under State, select the necessary information.
  5. Click OK.

 

Moreover, learn how paying your state payroll taxes and filing the necessary forms on time throughout the year is an essential task. To know more, read this article for your reference: Set Up State E-file And E-pay In QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced.
