WV Unemployment Update Needs Work

  • July 25, 2024

Some time ago, WV began requiring employee titles, SOC, and county worked on their Unemployment reports.

 

Recently, there was a QuickBooks update purporting to have linked the Title field under Edit Employee>Employment Info to the WV Unemployment report.

 

I have pulled that update a number of times, and indeed, QuickBooks now had a message in the Payroll Center reminding me to update the Title of a number of employees.

 

However, even after doing so, it does not carry over to the WV Enhanced Wage Report section when you generate the WV Unemployment Report. As far as I can tell, QuickBooks doesn't even pretend to have a spot to fill in for the County Worked.

 

This isn't exactly a request for help, though if someone does know where they have hidden the connected fields for the WV Unemployment report, I'd be happy to know.

 

This is also not an invitation to the QB Staff to encourage me to download the payroll update again. I have, several times, and will be ignoring any suggestions to that effect.

 

This is more a call-out for QuickBooks to get off their laurels. It's been months, and this is not exactly high-end programming. You are connecting fields to different fields so that they auto-fill, and I should not have to go on a scavenger hunt to find the fields to fill in. They should be easily accessible under the Edit Employee window.

Thank you for reaching out and providing detailed feedback regarding your experience with QuickBooks, FishingForAnswers.

 

I can see how the option to link data fields for employee titles and county worked can greatly benefit your business. However, the option is currently unavailable in QuickBooks. The occupational codes, job title, and work county you set up flow on the Quarterly Employee Wage Report, but not on the Unemployment Report.

 

Additionally, only the fields for occupational and county codes are available for West Virginia in the Payroll Setup window. You can directly add the job title to the employee's profile.

 

For guidance on setting up occupational codes, you can refer to this article: Set up occupational codes for employees.

 

In the future, you can use this guide to generate payroll reports and gain valuable insights about your business and employees: Run payroll reports.

    @AnneMariee  While I don't understand why they put the fields in Payroll Setup instead of allowing you to change it through the Edit Employee window in the Employee Center, that mostly works, but I still see nowhere to put their Occupational Title. Payroll Setup only had spots for the County and SOC.

     

    Can you point out where that is?
