Question

Can I add different WCB codes to the payroll time sheet so it will give me a gross earnings for each WCB code?

I need to produce a report that shows total earnings for each WCB code that my company has, is there a way to have WCB codes tied into the payroll sheets in case an employee works on 2 different WCB codes?

Hi Chawrysh9133,

 

Thanks for reaching out in the Community! I'd be happy to provide some information on adding different Workers' Compensation Codes to your payroll time sheets.

 

You’ll want to set up worker’s compensation before paying your employees to avoid incomplete and incorrect reporting. You can start by turning on the feature in the program to track them. Let me breakdown the steps for you:

 

Set Up Workers’ Compensation Codes:

  • From the main menu in QuickBooks Desktop, go to Edit > Preferences.
  • Choose Payroll & Employees and then go to Company Preferences.
  • Select Workers Compensation and put a checkmark on the Track Workers Comp checkbox.
  • Mark the following checkboxes as well:
    • Display message to assign codes (to show the Workers Comp messaging in QuickBooks).
    • Exclude overtime premium from Workers Comp calculation (to display overtime premium as a separate item on your report).
  • Click OK to save the settings.

Assign WCB Codes to Employees:

  • For each employee, assign the appropriate WCB code based on their work location.
  • QuickBooks will automatically assign a code to the employee’s earning items when you write a paycheck.
  • If an employee works on multiple WCB codes, ensure you assign the correct code for each earning item.

Run the Workers’ Compensation Report:

  • Go to Reports in QuickBooks Desktop.
  • Search for Workers’ Compensation Report.
  • Customize the report to include the necessary date range and filter by WCB codes.
  • The report will show total earnings for each WCB code based on employee transactions.

Here’s an article that tackles Workers' Compensation in QuickBooks Desktop. It contains complete instructions to get started including assigning codes, adding an experience modification factor and paying the premiums.


In addition, here are the available reports for workers’ comp with their description and how you can run them in QuickBooks Desktop.

Should you have other questions, please let me know. I’ll be happy to assist you further.
