I have ten different class codes per employee on each job and have to report the hours for each one separately on every check so how do I do that.

Thanks for joining this thread, Khuddle426.

In QBO, you can only assign one class per employee. As a workaround, you’ll have to update the Classes settings and manually add the class code on the paycheck.

Before we proceed, make sure to add them to your account. Here’s an article that will guide you through the process: Create and manage classes in QuickBooks Online.

When you’re ready, follow these steps to change your Classes setup. I’ll help make sure the process is a breeze for you.

1. Press the Gear icon at the top menu bar to select Payroll settings under Your company.
2. In the Preferences section, tap the Accounting link to open the Accounting Preferences page.
3. Navigate to the Classes section and tick the box for I use different classes for different employees.
4. Click OK.

For additional resources, check out the links below. These resources outline the complete steps on how to perform the following tasks:

• Assign a Workers' Comp Class to an employee
• View or edit Payroll accounting preferences
• Understanding Workers' Comp Report

I had this same problem, I found that if you go to GEAR > PAYROLL SETTINGS > WORKERS COMP >> click on WA Workers Compensation Tax  It'll allow you to edit the rates and not automatically round up

This year it wants to change everything to a percentage?? What the heck is going on?  Anyone else having this problem?

Hi mombo007,

We haven't received any report with the same issue as yours.  

Let's run some steps to isolate why you are prompted to enter the rate as a percentage. To start with, log into your account in an incognito window. Here is a list of keyboard shortcuts to open one:

• For Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• For Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• For Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
• For Safari: ⌘+ Shift + N

If it works fine, you can go back to a regular browser and clear its cache. Piled browser history can be the reason for some issues on the page. You may also switch to a different browser like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge.

If you need more resources on assigning worker compensation, you can check these references:

• Assign a Workers' Comp Class to an employee
• View or edit Payroll accounting preferences
• Understanding Workers' Comp Report

I'll be around whenever you have payroll concerns.

I am also trying to input the new rates for 2023 and it is wanting a percentage - WA state L&I is a set dollar amount per hour worked. Did you figure this out?

It was really weird.  I went into one employee and set it up there.  It wants to round up.  Go ahead and let it.  Then, go back into the payroll settings, click on it and add the other decimals.  It still shows on that page as a percentage, but when you go back into the employee to set it up, it is listed correctly.  

I didn't try the other browsers because I got it to work this way.  Give it a try and see if it works.
