Question

Net pay account

Why can the net pay account only be a bank account? I have several company director clients that don't take their salary in cash, they just want it credited to their directors' loan accounts. It's an unecessary pain to set up a fake bank account as a contra account and then journal the payroll back out to the directors' loan account. Why can't QB accept any balance sheet account for this?

Hi richard96

 

We agree this would be a useful option and would be grateful if you could submit a feedback request by going to the Cog > Feedback within your account, this way it'll reach our product developers who're able to implement such changes. 

 

If you would like an immediate solution, this is available on our Advanced payroll which you can see more on here, though we wouldn't recommend making the switch just for this.

 

Thank you 🙇‍♀️
