Employees and payroll

Thanks for following up with the Community, usercheryle.

To set up your books to track payroll expenses by class, you'll initially need to assign classes to each employee.

Here's how:

1. In the left navigation bar, go to Payroll, then Employees.
2. Choose a worker.
3. From your Employment details screen, click Start or Edit.
4. Add a class for them in the Workers' comp class field.
5. Select Save.

Next, you'll want to set your accounting preferences to track expenses by class.

In regard to a report you can use to show your expenses by class, I'd recommend running a Payroll Summary report by Class.

You'll also be able to find many detailed resources about using QuickBooks in our help article archives.
