Work Comp Code on Paychecks

Thanks for dropping by the Community, SignHouse.

I've got you covered. Let me help you make sure the Worker's Comp codes are showing on your salaried employees' paychecks.

First, let's ensure that the Display message to assign codes checkbox is selected on your Preferences screen.

Let me show you how:

1. Choose Edit at the top menu bar, then select Preferences.
2. Select Payroll & Employees on the left, then choose the Company Preferences tab at the top.
3. Click the Workers Compensation button.
4. Check the boxes next to Track Workers Comp and Display message to assign codes (see the screenshot below).
5. Click OK twice.

Once done, try creating a dummy paycheck and review if the Workers Comp code is there. If it's still not showing, you can update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release and download the latest payroll tax table. Lastly, run payroll for your salaried employees again.

That should get us on the right foot.​ Let me know how this turns out. I'm happy to help some more if you have questions with QuickBooks Desktop. Have a good day.

HI

I have 3 employees who are salaried (their earning set up is 'Salary Office') but the WC code doesn't populate for their hours in the paycheck. I compared their set up to another employee and found the following.

Looking at the 'Timesheet' - for the employee where WC is populating in the 'Timesheet' I see that Service Item shows Payroll Item 'Salary Office'. For the employees that are incorrect I see that that the Service Item is populating 'Hourly Rate' although they have 'Salary OFfice' in their payroll setup. 

The same service item is populating differently. They do have different WC codes so is the WC code causing the error? IT assumes this person is hourly b/c of the code? 

It's really confusing b/c I can't figure out what is causing this. 

Thanks for any information!!
