Pay as you go Workers Comp insurance?

Good day, Mariahag.

Let me make it up to you by ensuring you'll be able to set up workers' compensation in QuickBooks Online (QBO). 

Workers’ comp insurance protects you in case one of your employees is injured on the job.

To get workers' comp insurance, you'll have to visit  Intuit's workers' comp page and obtain a free quote. Then, our broker AP Intego will get in touch right after. They work with you to find the best workers’ comp carrier and payment options for your unique business.

Once you’re set up with AP Intego, your payroll data is automatically sent to your insurance provider through Pay As You Go each time you run payroll.

However, if you don't have a policy through AP Intego, you can set up your worker's comp payments manually. 

Additionally, the following guide contains information about worker's comp in QBO:

I need to link my workers comp to payroll 

My pleasure to have you in this thread today, and I appreciate your interest in trying to link your Workers Comp to our payroll system, Northern. Let me share some insights about this feature.

I want you to know that we offer this insurance for your employees' protection. You can get a quote or sign up through the Payroll menu or directly from this link: Workers’ comp that works for you. Once active, the system automates your compensation premiums each time you run your paychecks.

You can review the details from this article for more information: Understand workers’ compensation insurance.

However, linking a third-party Workers Comp to QBO Payroll isn't supported yet. As a workaround, you can manually track it using classes.

1. Sign in to your account.
2. Click on Payroll, then Employees.
3. Select your employee.
4. From Employment details, select Start or Edit.
5. Enter the name of the worker's comp class. It allows you to filter your payroll reports by workers' comp class.
6. Hit Done.
