<h2 data-start="953" data-end="996">Why Mapping Payroll Items is Important</h2>
<p data-start="998" data-end="1156">Mapping payroll items helps QuickBooks Time understand how to categorize hours and associate them with the correct payroll accounts. Without proper mapping:</p>
<ul data-start="1157" data-end="1290">
<li data-start="1157" data-end="1195">
<p data-start="1159" data-end="1195">Employees may be paid incorrectly.</p>
</li>
<li data-start="1196" data-end="1241">
<p data-start="1198" data-end="1241">Payroll reports may show inconsistencies.</p>
</li>
<li data-start="1242" data-end="1290">
<p data-start="1244" data-end="1290">Taxes and deductions could be miscalculated.</p>

<p data-start="1468" data-end="1527">Follow these steps to ensure accurate payroll item mapping:</p>
<h3 data-start="1529" data-end="1568">Step 1: Log in to QuickBooks Time</h3>
<p data-start="1569" data-end="1722">First, sign in to your QuickBooks Time account using your admin credentials. Only administrators or managers with payroll access can map payroll items.</p>
<h3 data-start="1724" data-end="1761">Step 2: Access Payroll Settings</h3>

<h3 data-start="1916" data-end="1961">Step 3: Review QuickBooks Payroll Items</h3>
<p data-start="1962" data-end="2040">Before mapping, check all payroll items in QuickBooks. Common items include:</p>
