Employees and payroll

Hi, 

I am Using Quickbooks Desktop Premier Accountant and we are an overseas NPO and use classes and jobs for assigning Staff a percentage in payroll. This all works well, but in Dec we paid bonuses (bonus account set up as a bonus account in QB) and we wanted this to go to a different class and job for most employees. The bonus was allocated in the job and class account correctly but it also took a percentage of Health Insurance and Pension with it. We do not want the Pension and Health to be allocated to the Job or Class the bonus is allocated. What do you suggest to do to stop bonuses doing this? We are abroad and don't have payroll taxes to worry about. Would a commission item be better and map it to the bonus account?

 

Thank you
