  1. Viewing or Editing Employee Details: To view or edit an employee's details, highlight the employee's name and select "Open" on the top toolbar or double-click on the name. This action allows you to review and modify any information as needed.

To ensure accurate time tracking and to avoid errors, it's crucial to specify the "Overtime Type" for each employee.

General Information

Pay / OT Rates

  • Hourly Employees: For those paid by the hour, create a Pay Schedule matching the QuickBooks Item Name for each schedule available.

  • Salary Employees: Calculate the Actual / OT / hr rate by dividing the annual salary by 2080 hours and adding the percentage for taxes and benefits. For example, a $36,000 salary equates to an actual employee cost per hour of $21.64 when factored with additional costs.

Note: Pay rates in e-manage|ONE must also be entered in QuickBooks as they do not automatically sync.
