In our organization, we have salaried employees who do not work 160 hours a month. How can I manually deduct the correct WA State Worker's Compensation amounts from their paychecks? QB Online Payroll assumes 160 standard hours, but this does not apply to all of my employees.
Hi MollySkinner,
Thank you for taking the time to get help with the calculation of your employees' Workers Compensation.
QuickBooks is actually just following your state agency's rule that salaried employees are assumed to have 160 hours for Worker's Compensation calculation. You can refer you the WA Labor & Industries (L&I) web page or ask your state agency about it.
If you have other questions in mind, feel free go back to this thread.
I understand. But from my research on that same website, I think that we can choose to either follow the assumed method of 160 hours per month OR we can track it manually. I guess I wish Quickbooks had a way for us to track it manually. We are a small school with many salaried employees who are not full time and do not work 160 hours per month. I think what I'll have to do is have a separate spreadsheet and keep track of the worker's comp deduction for everyone and then enter as a withholding manually on everyone's paycheck.
I think what frustrates me is that I am already entering in everyone's "worked hours" and holiday pay every month -- these are the numbers that should be used for the Worker's comp, not the assumed 160.
