We can manually update your permanent part-time employee’s pay rate to the desired amount outside the system, Anita.

For a manual update in the system, here’show:

1. Open your QuickBooks account and click Payroll.
2. Select the employee's name, then select Pay Rates from the left menu to see pay categories.
3. Click the dropdown of the Permanent Ordinary Hours to see the breakdown details.
4. Choose the field under the Rate column next to the pay rate you want to update and enter the new rate.
5. Check the box in the SHOW IN PAY RUN column if you want to show the information in the pay run.
6. Click the Save button at the bottom of the page to confirm the changes.

If the pay rate field is locked, you'll need to make any changes to an employee's rate through their Pay Rate Template. To update your employee’s pay rate, first set up a pay rate template in QuickBooks Payroll. Once the template is ready, follow these steps:

1. Go to Employees from the left menu.
2. Click Payroll Settings, then select Pay Rate Templates under the Pay Conditions column.
3. Select the pay rate template associated with the employee, then update the pay rates accordingly.
4. Click the Save button once complete.

If you want to update pay rates for multiple employees at once, see this article: How to update employee pay rates.
