QuickBooks Desktop Worker's Compensation Code Tracking

Hello,

Here's my situation. Everytime I onboarded an employee to our QBDT I always include their Worker's Comp code. Recently we have a new Insurance provider for our WC and they wanted me to extract the report for Workers's Comp by code and send it to them. I run the Worker's Comp by Code & Employees Report but it doesn't classify any of our employee to their respective code. Turns out I wasn't able to turn on the Track Workers Comp. Is this the reason why in the report it they're under NO WC Code? 

I have selected already the Track Worker's Comp now. But is there a way I'll have a report with employees properly classified to their respective WC code for the previous paychecks? 

I would love to hear from you guys. Thank you in advance!

Yes, the report indicates that employees have No WC Code since worker compensation tracking was not enabled when you ran the payroll, r_mahc. Allow me to provide details regarding this matter and guide you on how you can run a report with the appropriate WC code for the previous paychecks for each employee.

 

In QuickBooks Desktop, the system automatically assigns a WC code to the paycheck item once you select the Track Workers Comp checkbox from your company settings.

 

Since you pay employees before enabling this feature, you can edit your previous paycheck manually to generate a report that classifies them to their respective WC codes for their past paychecks.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Head to the Employees menu, then select Edit/Void Paychecks.
  2. You can utilize the available filters to locate the paycheck seamlessly.
  3. Double-click the paycheck to open it, then click on the Paycheck Detail tab.
  4. Under the Earnings section, manually select the code from the WC CODE column.
  5. Click on OK and Save & Close.

 

After that, you can run the Worker's Comp by Code & Employees report again and review the details to ensure they are showing accordingly. If you encounter any problem, you can scan this material for guidance on fixing it: Troubleshoot Workers’ Compensation report in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

 

On the other hand, you can customize and memorize your report to display specific data that meets your business needs and send them on a recurring schedule via email.
