Question

Washington State L & I

I ran my first payroll today and the L&I tax was calculated based on all hours. We had employees with sick, vacation and holiday pay (yes our holiday pay is it's own code). I need to know how to get this tax to only calculate on hours worked please.

Yes, that's the way QuickBooks does it. It's been this way from the beginning. I suppose it's hard to fix or they would have. Luckily, the tax is tiny and so it doesn't matter much.

It doesn't matter much? To over charge your employees? That answer would not fly in an audit. I have worked with many software programs where the calculation is correct. This can not be a hard fix.

Apparently it is hard to fix because of the way Washington does their L&I.  Apparently we are the only state that calculates it based on hours rather than dollars.
