Recording e-transfer fees for payroll
I'm using the payroll feature in quickbooks desktop in Canada. We pay our employees with etransfer and there is a $1.00 service fee for each transfer. I'm wondering how to record this fee in the payroll section in order to be able to match those transactions with my banking statement. Here's an example:
Employee A's net pay is $273.42, therefore the pay cheque detail and the entry in my chart of accounts lists this as $273.42. However, the imported bank transaction will list this as $274.42 (net pay + e-transfer fee). So when I import these transactions, they won't match and my reconciliation will be off.
Is there a solution or workaround to this issue? I have tried creating a payroll item that doesn't affect taxes or deductions and isn't included in insurable earnings or listed on the T4, but having this addition in the pay cheque detail increases the employee's net pay by $1.00, which obviously isn't correct or accurate. I'm looking for a better solution, if there is one out there. Thanks in advance!
