Accounting for Union Fringe Benefits

We have a union company and the benefits are only paid by the company, not the employee.

 

Monthly I calculate the benefits due to the fund and write a check.  I'd like to get these expenses added under the "payroll expenses" category.  I added them as a "company contribution" in the payroll items and that worked... it did add it under the payroll expenses.  But I'd like to see it broken out as to how I entered it as I entered my benefits under specific titles/contract names and those are just being lumped together.

 

Any advice?

Accounting for Union Fringe Benefits

I would be glad to guide how QuickBooks Desktop tracks and records your Union Fringe Benefits, @RedTopConstruction

 

I appreciate you sharing details on how you track your Union Fringe Benefits. Also, the method you used is the correct way of recording this into QuickBooks.

 

Unfortunately, it is not possible to break down the benefits entered under specific titles or contract names. In QBDT Payroll, you can track fringe benefits by setting up payroll items and assigning them to employees, enabling accurate calculation and recording of the value of fringe benefits for proper accounting and reporting.

 

I can see how the option you're looking for would be beneficial to your company. I recommend submitting feedback to our Product Development Team. They review and consider all feedback for future updates and use all the suggestions to make improvements to the product. Your input will be valuable in shaping the future of our product.

 

Here's how to submit feedback:

 

  1. In QBDT, go to the Help menu at the top.
  2. Click Send Feedback.
  3. Choose a category and enter your comments or suggestions.
  4. Tick Send Feedback when once done.

 

In addition, I will share some resources that will allow you to view various preset fringe benefits and how to process payroll for your employees:

 

 

If you have any follow-up questions regarding fringe benefits or any other aspect of QuickBooks, please leave a comment below. I am always available to assist you. Take care and stay safe.
