How do I get ride of WSIB that has been setup on an employee in error?  The employee is exempt.  Intuit has, so far, been of NO help.

Hey there northerngirl,

 

Thanks for reaching out to us here. Being able to edit employees information correctly is important. I would be happy to provide some information.

 

Currently, there isn't a way to remove WSIB from a single employee. However, There is a workaround. You can make a new rate at 0% and assign it to the Employee in question. Here's how: 

 

1- Head to the Gear icon, and select Payroll settings

2- Click on workers compensation and click the pencil icon

3- Create a new item, you will want to create it in the province that WSIB is, set the rate to zero,
as of the first of the month

4- Go to payroll, employees, then click on the employee, scroll down to workers compensation
and change them to that rate.

5- Click save and Done.

 

I can see how have this feature would be beneficial for you and your company. I recommend leaving feedback by heading to the Gear icon and selecting the Feedback option. These comment are viewed and considered by our developers as they create and update new feature for QuickBooks.

That is exactly the solution I was coming to.  This is unfortunate.  Another problem is the WSIB report that QBO creates -- it does not consider the maximum thresholds.  I have a client that has substantially overreported because she relied on the QBO monthly report instead of looking at YTD. 😞

 

Thank you.
