Using Location tracking for Payroll in QBO

I have figured out how to use class tracking for payroll - where I can assign various employees and their payroll amounts to different classes.

 

But how do you assign different employees to different locations? (I am talking about the class and Location tracking feature, not physical address work locations )

 

Or, is there a way to link a class to a location...so that I can assign the employees to a class...and thereby also assign their payroll amounts to a specific location?

 

Thanks.

Hello there, bkehl.

 

The option to use the Location tracking feature for payroll and link them to your classes is unavailable. Once you assign a class to each employee in the payroll settings, payroll will automatically be categorized. You can run reports by class so you can keep track of your payroll expense and such. 

 

Let me know if you have other questions. Stay safe and have a great day!

Thanks for responding.

 

So to clarify - there is no way to use the location tracking feature with payroll, with multiple locations? All payroll expenses will automatically go to the default location ?

I know you can add locations manually but is there a way to get it to do it automatically on payroll check and payroll liabilities yet?   It is HORRIBLE having to go back to each check and then liabilities!
