One of the companies I work for became unionized and I have a couple questions regarding setting up the pension that the company has to pay on behalf of the employee. It is NOT a deduction for the employee - the company pays the $$ to the union. How do I set it up in QB so I can keep track of how much we owe? Also, there are quite a few dues other than the pension that the company has to calculate and pay along with the pension every month. How do I keep track of those?
Hello Diane18,
I hope you're having a great week so far! As always, I appreciate the details you've shared about what you're looking to do. Seeing these, I can tell that you're going to need to create Company Contribution items in payroll. In doing this, you'll be able to keep track of these items and the amounts owed to the various places, whether it's the CRA or a union organization. Here's how to set up a Company Contribution item.
Go through this setup with each contribution the company is making toward employee pay cheques. Once you've got them set up, here's how you add them to the employee profile.
Repeat this for each employee that gets these contributions. Once you have, they'll automatically be calculating when you run payroll.
When it comes time to pay them, you'll simply go to the Payroll Centre (accessible from the Employees menu) and then the Pay Liabilities tab. Click Pay Liabilities, choose the appropriate date range, and then OK to see what you owe. Learn more about this process here: Pay or adjust payroll liabilities
For more information about payroll items and how to set them up in the program, I recommend reviewing the in-product help articles. Find them by following these steps.
That should get you on your way, but don't be afraid to ask more questions. I'm here to help!
