How do you set up prevailing wage rates in quickbooks online payroll to show fringes paid to a benefit program instead of cash

I need to reflect the hourly amounts for the prevailing wage project on the paycheck plus the fringe amount, but I do not want to pay the fringe dollar amount to the employee, I want it to show what was earned & have it withheld & contributed to a fund.

How do you set up prevailing wage rates in quickbooks online payroll to show fringes paid to a benefit program instead of cash

Hi Kimberly, it's not possible to show deductions as earned and withheld in the payroll form in QuickBooks Online. We can submit a feedback request to our product engineers. Let me outline the steps below.

 

In QuickBooks, once you add a deduction to your payroll, it will automatically be shown under the deductions section. Since there's no option to show it as earned or withheld, I'd suggest submitting a request to our developers about this feature. They can consider adding this feature in the future.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Log in to your QBO account.
  2. Go to the Gear icon, then select Feedback.
  3. Enter your comments or product suggestions. 
  4. Then select Next to submit feedback.

 

After that, our designated team will review it. You can track your future requests through the QuickBooks Online Feature Requests website.

 

Furthermore, refer to this article for detailed steps and guidance in adding, editing, or removing your payroll items in QBO.

 

Additionally, you can run a payroll report for you to review and analyze payroll data for better financial management and compliance.

 

By following these steps, you can ensure that your feedback is submitted, Kimberly. If you encounter any further issues or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us again. I am here to help.
