📋 General Information

  • Enter Employee Information: Enter your employees' basic details.

  • Linking to e-manage|ONE Users: Attach employees to e-manage|ONE users if applicable for integrated functionality.

  • Salesperson and Installer Assignment: Assign employees to their roles (e.g., salesperson, installer). If an employee is missing from the dropdown, see the

https://emanageone.atlassian.net/l/cp/JMfRvs0W section for setup instructions.

💵 Pay / OT Rates

Configuring pay rates correctly ensures that your project labor costs are accurate and your payroll exports to QuickBooks are seamless.

⏱️ Hourly Employees

For staff paid by the hour, you must set up a Pay Schedule for every rate type they use (e.g., Regular, Overtime, Double Time).

  • Naming Convention: The name of the Pay Schedule in e-manage|ONE must exactly match the QuickBooks Item Name.

  • Set-up: Create a unique entry for each available schedule to ensure the time clock maps data correctly.

💼 Salary Employees

Since salaried employees don't have a "per hour" pay rate in the traditional sense, you must calculate an Actual / OT / hr rate to ensure accurate job costing on projects.

  1. Base Rate: Divide the annual salary by 2080 hours (the standard work hours in a year).

  2. Burdened Cost: Add a percentage to that base rate to account for employer taxes and benefits.

Example: > A $36,000 annual salary $\div$ 2080 = $17.31/hr.

After adding estimated taxes and benefits, the final Actual Employee Cost entered might be $21.64/hr.

 

NOTE: No Automatic Sync: Pay rates entered in e-manage|ONE do not push to QuickBooks. You must manually enter the corresponding rates in your QuickBooks payroll settings.

Ensure each employee has one (and only one) schedule marked as their Default to prevent errors when they use the Time Clock.
