Question

Employer Taxes not consistently being taken

We are in Washington state and pay into WA L&I (worker's comp) on a quarterly basis.  Each payroll processed accrues employer liability per employee L&I rate.  EXCEPT for 3 employees where the employer accrual occurs only for the first paycheck in a month.  Has anyone seen this strange behavior?

 

Because we've had little success in dealing with the "[email address removed]" team, I am reaching out to my community.  Any ideas?

Hello.  These posts are independent.   This one is a concern because 3 employees representing 2 different work classes, are having workers comp deductions once a month (first paycheck) whereas ALL OTHER employees, including those in same workers comp class, are having deductions EVERY paycheck which is correct.

Did you set up two classes for each of those three employees, @NancyC1? 

 

If yes, that's likely the reason why the WA workers' compensation isn't correctly deducted.

 

Each employee can only have one class and rate in QuickBooks Online Payroll. You'll need to manually compute your employee's workers' compensation if they fall under more than one class and rate. See this module for more information: Manage Washington (WA) workers' compensation.
