Thank you for joining this thread, Admin242.

 

You can assign a single class to all of your employees in QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll, or set different classes for different workers. Also, the class tracking feature is available only in the Plus and Advanced versions.

 

The option to split your employees' paychecks between classes is currently unavailable. As an alternative solution, you can create another pay type. Allow me to walk you through the process of adding one.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Head to the Payroll menu on the left panel and choose Employees.
  2. This action will show the list of all your workers.
  3. From there, click on the employee's name to see more details.
  4. Click the pencil icon for Pay to bring up the Edit employee details screen.
  5. Go to the How much do you pay section and tap the pencil icon to open the Pay types page.
  6. Then choose the one you wish to add:
    Pay type ▼ for hourly, salary, or commission only. If your employee has multiple hourly rates, select Hourly 2 or Another hourly pay type. You can rename these hourly pay types.
    Common pay types ▼ for overtime, holiday pay, bonus, or commission. 
    Time off pay policies ▼ for paid time off like sick or vacation. Check out Set up and track time off in payroll to set up or change policies.
    Additional pay types ▼ for other pay types like tips, reimbursement, allowances, or fringe benefits.
  7. Press the Save button to keep the changes. 

 

 Once completed, you can now use the newly created pay type when running payroll for the employee. Here's an article that explains how to manage payroll items from your employees' paychecks: Add or change pay type.

 

Furthermore, these resources provide an overview of when to use the class tracking feature, set up your class list, and create a budget for each segment, to name a few:

 

 

Let me know if you have any further questions about the class tracking function or other QuickBooks concerns. I am always available to help. I wish you continued success with your business.
