Hi GCS,
There are a couple of ways to do this. If you are using Quickbooks Plus, you can track the wage expenses by classes or locations; follow the steps here to set this up in payroll. You can also click here for details on location tracking and here for details on class tracking if you are not yet using this. You will then be able to run reports based on the specific location or class.
If you are trying to set up the wages to journal to separate accounts so you can track their wages separately. You could create two separate Pay Categories for each employee as each Pay category can be used to allocate specific wage expenses to different General Ledger accounts.
For example, you could create a pay category e.g. Employee 1 or Employee 2, and only use this for employees within the payrun. From there if you had two wage expense accounts already set up in QuickBooks, you could track each employee's wage expense by mapping this specific pay category to a corresponding employee wage expense account in your QBO Chart of Accounts. This way when the payroll journal is exported, the employee's figures will split to each of their own wage expense account.
If you don't specify a pay category account, the default Wage Expense account will be used.
You can click here on how to create the new Pay Categories and you can click here to learn how to import your QuickBooks wage expense accounts in the payroll system.
OF course this is just one potential option. If you have further questions, feel free to reply and let us know a bit more about exactly what you are trying to achieve so we can assist further.
