When you finalise a pay run, the system should automatically post a payroll journal to the relevant accounts.
If you wish to see which accounts are being used:
Navigate to the Employees section
Select Payroll Settings
Select Chart of Accounts
Select Default accounts
You can then check the relevant accounts in order to see whether the journals are being posted. If the payroll journals are not being posted when you finalise a pay run, please contact us so we can assist:
Log in to QuickBooks Online
Select Help in the top-right corner
Select Contact Us
If you are paying your employees and wish to allocate the wage payments, allocate them to the Payment account listed in the Chart of Accounts section referenced earlier (by default, this is Payroll Clearing).
