We would like to add employee wages / payroll and does it open up an expense category?

Hi hawgpitt-outlook,

It's fantastic to see new members reaching out in the QuickBooks Community. You'll find some sage advice and camaraderie amongst the other members. QuickBooks Online Payroll is designed to make paying employees a breeze. I can explain what accounts are created when you add payroll to your QuickBooks Online account.

When you add payroll to your QuickBooks Account, it sets up default accounts for Wage expense, Payroll Liability for tax and vacation pay if it is accrued. This link contains links to various payroll articles you may want to review: QuickBooks Payroll help article hub.

If you have any other questions, please reach back out. Have an amazing day!
