Hello!
An employee was setup with the wrong class. Is there a way to change the class after payroll has been run?
Need to run a report showing all expenses for a certain class for reimbursement of grant funds.
Thank you,
Maurice

Thank you for getting back, Maurice. Let me provide additional insights about assigning classes to your payroll transactions.
You're right. Once you modify the employee's class, the changes will affect the incoming transactions only. You won't be able to edit the existing payroll transactions. Regardless, I'm happy to know that you've used a journal entry to redistribute it to the correct class.
Here's an article that'll give you more information to keep track of your payroll entries: Set up and track your payroll expenses by class.
If you need to view the payroll wages, taxes, deductions, and contributions totaled by class, run your Payroll Summary by Class report.

I'm probably missing something, but based on what I read the class can't be changed after a payroll has been processed.
Set up a new employee and entered the wrong class. It appeared I can't edit that payroll/transaction to change the class, correct? I did a journal entry to redistribute to the correct class.

Good afternoon,
We assign classes to employee's paystub based on what job they worked on in a specific week.
also, we have classes assigned to individual employees as well. but, lately QuickBooks has been defaulting the classes on the paystubs to individual employee classes in lieu of the Job related classes we code them against.
I realize this is a bit confusing .But will appreciate any kind of help to resolve this issue.
Thank you.
Tony
