100% Employer Covered Health Insurance

The company pays 100% of employee health insurance-it is not deducted from payroll at all. How do I handle this in the chart of accounts / how to code the expense deduction in banking?

 

He also pays 100% into a pension fund-would I set this up the same way as well?

100% Employer Covered Health Insurance

Hello, megan5.

I can help you set up a health insurance deduction for your employee in QuickBooks Online.

 

You may want to check and see if the deduction is set up correctly.

 

Here's how:

  1. Select the employee and click the pencil icon beside Pay to edit.
  2. Go to number four and click Add new deduction.
  3. Click the drop-down arrow and select New Deduction/contribution.
  4. Choose Health Insurance.
  5. Choose Medical Insurance.
  6. Enter the insurance provider.
  7. Under Employee deduction, choose None.
  8. For Company-paid contribution, select % of gross pay then enter the percentage amount and enter the Annual maximum amount.
  9. Hit OK and Done.

You can follow these steps in setting up the pension fund.
