Thank you for your continued engagement in the Community forum, Deadwood Al. I'm here to address your concerns about how workers' compensation calculations work in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
For your first concern, you're correct that QuickBooks will exclude the overtime premium portion of your employees' pay if you have selected the Exclude overtime premium from Workers Comp calculation checkbox from the Preferences. Otherwise, the workers' comp will be calculated based on the entire payroll if it's not checked.
Regarding your second question, QuickBooks will still calculate the same for all hourly payroll items, including the holiday at a straight-time rate, PTO pay, jury duty, bereavement, vacation, and sick pay types, but not the holiday pay with the overtime rate.
Concerning the third question, you can simply select the correct overtime payroll item so that QuickBooks will calculate it accurately. You'll want to add the two overtime payroll items to your company or add them to your CA employees' profiles. Then, you can choose the correct one when running their payrolls, depending on their work hours.
For your last question, I encourage you to submit feedback to that specific help article to specifically request further explanation about the exclusion process of overtime premiums from workers' compensation calculations. Let me guide you on how:
