Join nowI've replicated your concern on my sample file, Rachel. I was able to assign a worker's comp class to a service when I created a timesheet.
I'll guide you how:
When you pull up the Time Activities by Employee Detail report and customize it to show the classes, the service is tracked to a specific class. Here's how:
I'll share some articles that can help you:
As always, I'd suggest conferring with your accountant on the best way to handle this.

Thank you for the reply, Kristine. I actually have started doing this. However, unfortunately, the time activities report cannot be used to report wages. When I compare the time activities billing total with wages totals on job profitability they often don't match, although they will be somewhat close. I need to be able to connect the services to actual wages paid, or an alternate setup.
Thanks for getting back to us, @rachel.
You'll want to set up and create projects to track the profitability properly in QuickBooks Online. This feature helps you stay organized and run project-specific reports from a single dashboard.
Here's how to turn on Projects:
The Projects menu now appears in the main navigation bar.
Then, you can create your first project:
For more detailed instructions about projects, click this article: Set up and create projects in QuickBooks Online.
Also, you can browse these articles on how to set up projects in Tsheets and how to use projects to calculate your profits and costs by project:
You can get back to me if you have any other questions about QuickBooks. I'm here to help . Take good care.
Thank you for taking the time to give me information on projects. I am already doing this. That answer unfortunately does not help with my issue.
Thank you for posting back here in Community, @rachel.
Let me share additional information to track gross wages for Worker's Compensation in payroll. You can enter an Hourly cost rate, so, the total wages will show on the Job Profitability report.
Here's how:
You can also refer to this article for further steps: Track income, costs, and profitability by project
Additionally, if you want to know how to track time against a project, you can refer to this video for future preference: TSheets Projects - Track Time Against a Project
Feel free to post for additional questions, have a great day!
Again, thank you for the attempt to answer my question. However, I don't want to deal with projects. I need to be dealing with actual wages paid for worker's comp reporting of gross wages. The time cost on projects rarely matches the wages paid. What I need is to find a way to connect their actual wages paid to a wage class that they can choose per activity on their time card (T-Sheets). The time card is then exported to QB for payroll.
I need to be able to run a report at the end of the year to be able to see how much of an employee's wages were in one class and how much was in another. This is not done through projects as far as I can tell.
Hi there @rachel! Please let me know if I've misunderstood at all, but you can indeed put classes on your employees' TSheets time cards so that they can select one every time they clock out. That information would be brought along with everything else into QBO on each export.
To activate Classes in TSheets:
Once complete, employees will be prompted to select a class on their timesheets from now on.
Let me know if this answers your question! If not, I'm happy to keep working on the right solution with you.
Thank you for your reply Ami! I'm going to give this a try and see if it works.
Awesome! Let me know if it works out. :)
So how would I run a report on wages showing the breakdown of wages per class?
Good morning, @rachel.
Let's run a Payroll Tax and Wage Summary Report to show you the breakdown of wages per class. Here's how:
That should do the trick! Let me know if you have additional questions. I'm always here to help.
Thanks for that. My report is not customizable for some reason. It only allows me to pick the date range, and nothing else. It also does not show me anything but state and federal taxes by category. :/ There is a report called Worker's Compensation, but it only shows all wages lumped together, and the worker's comp class says no name specified. There must be a setting or something I'm missing here on employees??
Actually I looked at the Worker's Comp report again, and was able to figure out if I assign a worker's comp class manually to each employee, it will group their wages by the class I assign. However, this doesn't solve my issue of wanting the reporting to be accurate for employees who are fluid between classes. hmmmm....??
Thanks for the response back, @rachel.
You're correct about the Worker's Comp Report being sorted as grouped wages by the Class. At this time, there's not a Report that will go that deep into detail with the breakdown of wages per Class per Employee. I'm going to submit feedback to our Product Development Team about bringing in a feature that will allow you to customize the Payroll Reports deeper into detail and bringing in a new Class Report. In the meantime, you can export a Report to Excel that best fits your needs and add/edit the columns.
Is there anything I can help you with today? I'm here for you always.
Thanks Ashley.
