Hi there pam-invisiblefen,
It's important that all your payroll information is entered correctly so that your books can be well balanced. QuickBooks Online is a great tool able to help you pay your employees either by direct deposit or by paper cheque. I can provide some information about workers' compensation.
QuickBooks Online Payroll is currently able to calculate workers' compensation for the provinces of Quebec, Ontario and BC. This information can be found on how to set it up within QuickBooks Online Payroll. As there currently isn't an option for Nova Scotia, the tracking of this contribution would need to be tracked outside of QuickBooks. I can see how being able to do the calculation and tracking of workers' compensation rates in Nova Scotia would be a feature that could help you with running your payroll. I recommend leaving feedback in the system by clicking on the Gear icon, then Feedback. The comments made in that section are taken into consideration when our developers design new features for QuickBooks Online.
If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out here.
