Recording insurance payments to company for maternity leave reimbursement.

I'll help you record the insurance payments, Kareninil.

Let's create a deposit to enter the maternity leave reimbursement in QuickBooks Desktop. Here's how:

1. Go to the Banking tab and then select Make Deposits.
2. In the Deposit to field, select the bank account where the money has been taken out.
3. In the From Account section, choose the bank you've used for the insurance payment.
4. Enter the other necessary details.
5. Once done, click on Save and Close.

I've also added an article for your reference about the process: Record and Make Bank Deposits in QuickBooks Desktop.

To ensure the reimbursement is tracked accurately, I'd suggest consulting an accountant. If you don't have one, you can use our Find-an-Accountant tool to look for an expert near you.

Additionally, I've added these articles that'll guide you in tracking your employees' time off and assigning pay schedules. This helps you manage your payroll:

• Set up and Track Time off in Payroll
• Set up and Manage Payroll Schedules

I'm only a post away if you have additional questions about the tracking process. It's my priority to keep your payroll accurate.

I guess I should have been clearer. It's obviously being deposited in the bank account. I'm wondering about recording the other side of the transaction. Should I put the other side in wages expense since this is a reimbursement for the wages we have continued to pay the employee?
