Employment allowance

Let me guide you on how to find the debits and credits (journal) for your payroll entries, particularly the employment allowance, richard96.

When you issue a paycheque, the online system will generate a transaction journal. You'll have to run the Journal report to see the debits and credits for each transaction. In addition, it will also provide insights into amounts and accounts not shown in the entry. Follow these steps to open the report:

1. Navigate to the Reports menu on the left panel and type Journal in the Find report by name field.
2. Set the correct date range from the Report period drop-down.
3. Click the Customise button to filter and sort the data on the report.
4. Press the Run report button to apply the changes.
   
   

Refer to this article for more in-depth information about the process: Customise reports in QuickBooks Online.

Thanks - I already checked the journals. My question was why did Core Payroll not create a journal to credit the Employment Allowance? Standard Payroll used to do this for each pay run. Is this something that Core Payroll does not do or is there another process needed to create the journal?

I'm here to shed some light on your journal concerns about the new payroll system, richard96.

Currently, QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll Core does not support the automatic creation of journal entries for employment allowance ( available in the Standard service). I see how vital this feature is for your business and other users and incorporating it into the program will benefit a lot of customers. Let's send requests to add this functionality to the payroll service directly to our engineers for consideration in future updates.

Here's how:

Oh dear. Another spectacular own goal by Core Payroll. Creating more work for everyone is hardly selling this 'upgrade' to my clients.
