Payroll Giving / Give As You Earn

Our employees are set up for for "Payroll Giving" deductions (to donate to charity from their salary).

Our company has now agreed to match their donations, or at least add/contribute to their charity donations.

How can this be done within QB (advanced) Payroll?

I.e., when we run payroll it automatically applies a deduction for each employee which we then pay on their behalf to their designated Payroll Giving Agency. This works fine in QB.

We would now like to add an amount of our own to their charitable cause. How can this automatically be done?

Hello there, @BELS. 

 

I'm here to assist you with setting up a company-paid for the charitable cause using QuickBooks Online Payroll. 

 

To set up company-paid contributions for a charitable cause using QuickBooks Online Payroll, you can also add an amount for the employer side to match any contributions made by your employees to the charitable cause. Here are the steps to proceed:

 

  1. In Payroll, choose the Payroll Settings tab and select Pay Categories under Pay Run Settings.
  2. Tick Add and give the category a name, then hit Save.
  3. As an option, you can assign an external ID to the category. 
  4.  If you don't want employees to see the value of this liability on their pay slips, select Hide from pay slips.
  5. Select Show total payments in pay slips to show the total cumulative payments for this liability category on their pay slips. 
  6. You can also include this category in shift cost calculations by selecting Include in shift cost calculations. It allows you to include employer liabilities in shift costing calculations using pay condition rule sets as an optional feature.

 

Moreover, to know more about managing employees' liability and its categories, see this article for further assistance: Create employee liability and pay categories in QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll.

 

On the other hand, you can find additional information about workplace pension schemes, which offer convenience when saving for retirement through automatic contributions deducted from salary. 

 

The Community is available around the clock to assist you with any additional inquiries about establishing company contributions or any other concerns you may have. Wishing you a great day!
