Edit the employee, and go to payment types. Check the box for reimbursement. This will create a new field for reimbursement when you process payroll. Enter the reimbursement amount in that field and note in the memo what it is for.<\/li>\n<li>You can create a check, made payable to the employee. The distribution on the check would be the account(s) that cover whatever you are reimbursing for (I.e. office expense, auto expense, travel, etc) make sure to notate that it is for reimbursement in the memo for doing Record Employee Reimbursement in QuickBooks Online.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Or<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Select the\u00a0<b>Plus sign (+)<\/b>\u00a0icon on the Toolbar, then select\u00a0<b>Cheque<\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0<b>Expense<\/b>\u00a0to record a payment to the employee, with attention to these fields:\n<ul>\n<li><b>Choose a PayeeB<\/b>\u00a0The employee.<\/li>\n<li><b>Bank account or Cash account<\/b>: Select which account you reimburse the employee from (bank or petty cash).<\/li>\n<li><b>Amount<\/b>: \u00a0 Enter the amount owed to your employee.
