We're a nonprofit that tracks "functional expenses" (program, admin, and fundraising). We use classes to categorize these. Our payroll expense must also reflect this functional breakdown, as some employees work in multiple categories.
We use TSheets, and employees select class when logging time. These are then approved in QBO timesheet approval and processed using QB payroll.
When I pull up the P&L report and display columns by class, the payroll expense is not categorized by class. How can I make this work? Other solutions point to categorizing employees by class, but that won't work. For us, the class depends on the timesheet entry, not the employee.
Thank you for reaching out to us here in the Community, @RobotBen.
Allow me to share some information about class tracking in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
The classes used in the timesheets won't reflect and won't categorize the payroll expenses by class in the Profit and Loss report. The class used will reflect when you create an invoice.
If want to categorize the payroll expenses by class, you may send your product suggestions to our product engineers for future updates and product enhancements.

Let me know if you have any other concerns about class tracking in QBO. Have a good day ahead!
I use manual payroll but this link may be helpful:
one more step to add for the report to be narrowed down to THAT class only
You will note on the paycheck detail that the Class box is near the upper right corner.
Did you happen to find a work around for this?
Good day, @Bernadettesmith12.

I am also looking to see how to add class codes to payroll entries. I'm in QBO, so the desktop answers don't help. Has anyone found anything on this yet? It looks like this thread is over a year old.
Hi, msiegel.
Thanks for dropping by the Community, this feature is currently unavailable in our QuickBooks Online product, I would recommend checking out our blog spot. There you can see up-to-date news and what updates are coming to the product.
If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to post here any time. Thank you and have a lovely afternoon.
I was looking at the same thing... was considering changing over payroll to QB but I thought the whole point was to be able to integrate with TSheets and allocate out time/payroll based on program (classes). From an accounting perspective I'm not sure what the T-sheets integration does (other than for hourly employees)? I'm surprised this hasn't been addressed- with my current third party payroll provider, they do payroll and time, and have reports that allocate time based on payroll. Surprised this hasn't been integrated in TSheets/QBO.
A 3 year old post and still no fix to this.
We have worker's comp codes we need to track that vary per employee depending on the job. I thought creating classes was the answer, but it does not track.
Still have to do it all manually in excel.
I am very disappointed with many things in QuickBooks online. May switch to desktop, but not sure that will fix this issue.
I use the desktop payroll and have not found a way to categorize by class. It's very frustrating.
This is the WORST change from Desktop to QBO!! We use classes for our divisions. How in the world are are supposed to get our labor into the correct divisions?
Thanks for posting in the Community space and bringing this to our attention, @BK-PaulDavis.
