How to map payroll items separately

Thanks for reaching out to the Community, Apples521.

To map payroll items separately, you can utilize your class tracking feature to assign employee wages to different accounts based on their work function. This process allows you to, for example, expense job labor into a "Job Labor" account, and office wages to an "Office Wages" account.

Here's how to turn on class tracking for payroll:
 

1. Use the Gear icon, then go to Payroll settings.
2. In your Accounting section, use the Pencil (Edit) icon.
3. From Class Tracking, click your Pencil (Edit) icon and choose how you want to track classes.
4. If you pick I use the same class for all employees, select Save. In the event you choose I use different classes for different employees, use your employee ▼ drop-down list to assign a class for each of the employees, then select Save.

If you don't see Class Tracking, make sure it's turned on in your Advanced settings. Class tracking will only apply to new and future payroll transactions. Enabling class tracking won’t affect any prior transactions.
