Payroll Items

Payroll items originate and are assigned to employees in QuickBooks. The payroll item becomes an important component of timecard authorizations.

Each authorization (eFC-authorizations) has the option to "show PI". This is determine whether or not the payroll item is displayed on the users timesheet.

The payroll item display controls how a payroll item is displayed on an employees TimeCard. This option is used primarily to distinguish an employee authorization if he/she receives varying compensation for the same task. An example of this situation would be an employee is paid an overtime pay rate for overtime hours. The TimeCard authorization for the overtime is setup using an overtime payroll item (OT rate) instead of the employee’s standard payroll item (separate authorization). In order to distinguish the overtime task authorization, in this example the overtime payroll item would be marked to display "OT".

Make sure the payroll item labor types are set for each payroll item. Ex. Set all PTO/vacation to Fringe Labor. Once set to Fringe Labor the applicable fringe payroll item(s) can also be checked to indicate if they should be used when creating leave request, sick and/or Holiday authorizations.

Clicking on an individual payroll item will populate the second grid for a quick review of users that are assigned the selected payroll item.
