Employees and payroll

Hi there, @JStarkWildfire.

To access this feature, you'll need a payroll subscription. Certain payroll functionalities can only be accessed for QuickBooks Online (QBO) accounts with payroll plans. To manually track them in the application, you can consider using one that fits your business needs. Therefore, you can add them to your existing QBO application through the steps below:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Subscriptions and Billing.
   
2. Under the Discover More dropdown, click the Find out more in the QuickBooks Payroll panel.
   
3. Select what you need in a payroll subscription, and review the suggested plans.
4. Once you decide, click the Sign-up button to avail.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions and hit the Subscribe button.

Once done, you can visit this article to manually manage your worker's comp in the application: Assign a Workers' Comp Class to an employee in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

After that, you can run payroll reports specific to worker's compensation and customize them to see details according to your preference: 

• Run payroll reports
• Customize reports in QuickBooks Online 

Should you have additional queries about managing employee compensations or setup, @JStarkWildfire, you can always post them here in the Community. Wishing your business to prosper. Stay safe!
