WSIB - Sub Contractors

Hello SimplyWonderful,

This is a great question, and I can appreciate needing to find a way to record all the details related to your sub contractors in QuickBooks Online. I'd be happy to go over this with you to make sure you have the right information and direction for handling these details.

In QuickBooks Online, sub contractors can be recorded as suppliers using the newly released T4A and T5018 feature, which it sounds like you may have already come across since you're already working with this information in the supplier area. If not, here's our article about how to set that up and how it works: Using T4A and T5018 forms in QuickBooks Online

Given that this isn't a part of the Payroll module and that WSIB isn't currently included with the supplier setup, I recommend checking with an accountant first to find the best way to record this and to determine if it should even be included with your payroll calculations. There may be some other way that you should be handling these since these sub contractors are not technically on your payroll.

To work with an accountant directly in QuickBooks Online, you can use the My Accountant tab to add your accountant as a user to your books or use the Find a pro to help button if you don't already have an accountant. That button takes you to our directory of QuickBooks-certified professional near you.

I also invite you to submit feedback to this using the steps in this link: How do I submit feedback? That lets our product development team know the ways that users would like to see the program and its features changed for the future.

Wishing you the best. :)
