Hello,

 

How to handle different L&I tax rate for the same emloyee? We have workers working on different orojects and L&I has different rates if they do Pile driving, Waterproofing or Concrete flatwork. How can you setup different rates in Quick books payroll for the same employee and just setup hours he worked on each category?

 

Thank you!

I've got your back, @TMMM.

 

You can go to the Payroll Settings and set up different L&I tax rates from there. Then, use the specific tax rate when your employee does Pile driving, Waterproofing, or Concrete flatwork. Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.
  2. Click the Gear icon, then select Payroll Settings.
  3. In the Preferences screen, go to the Tax Setup tab.
  4. Select WA Worker Compensation Tax.
  5. On the Workers Compensation Tax Information page, enter the necessary information, such as the Nature of Work and the rates.
  6. Once done, click the Add Class and Subclass link to enter another rate.
  7. Click OK once you're finished.

 

I'm adding this article for more guidance: Manage Washington (WA) workers' compensation.

 

You might want to run payroll reports in QBO. This will help you view useful information about your business and employees.

 

Should you need any additional assistance handling different L&I tax rates, you can leave a comment below. I'll be sure to get back to you, @TMMM.
