Payroll Items

You can update your permissions by selecting Edit --> Integrated Applications --> click Company Preferences tab, click on Buddy Punch and then click on Properties

You will then want to check the box next to "Allow this application to access Social Security Numbers, customer credit card information, and other personal data" as shown below:

Another main reason a payroll item may not be pulled in is that the Employee in QuickBooks is not assigned a payroll item. You will want to ensure that all Employees have been assigned the correct payroll items.
