It's nice to have you here, @lmeyers,

Thanks for joining the discussion. Allow me to chime in for a moment and share some insights on how to record your employee's payroll details in QuickBooks.

Since you're using a third-party payroll processor, you can enter the paycheck information in QuickBooks by writing the checks manually. You can record it the same way ADP creates them.

Additionally, if you're unsure of what account to use for the employee's wage garnishment, it is best to contact an accountant for further assistance. They can provide the best legal and accounting advice for your business and can add in-depth information on recording your payroll manually.

I've also attached here a related article if you want to set up manual payroll for Quickbooks Desktop: Set up payroll without a subscription.

That should help you get on the right track. If you ever need further assistance about payroll processing in QuickBooks Online, please feel free to mention me anytime. Have a great and productive day!
