How to easily enter employer contributions for payrolls Brad 07-19-2006

If someone is entering payroll data for more than one employee, there
is a place to enter the employee specific data and the employer
contributions for each employee while creating a paycheck in
QuickBooks.

My payroll company sends me a set of reports with detail for each
employee's contributions, but only departmental detail for the
employer's contributions. It seems like I should get employee level
detail for the employer contributions to allow me to easily enter the
data that quickbooks needs to keep things straight.

The payroll company says no one has ever asked for this so I am
assuming I am missing something.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brad

Are you employing this company to simply run payroll on your checks or are
*they* paying your employees on your behalf but under their EIN & on their
checks?

If its the former then I can understand wanting the detail. As long as they
can provide it in the event of an audit or even at year-end though I think
the paper trail would back-up your lump-sum entries.

If its the latter and your employees are technically in the payroll
company's employ & their checks are written on that company's checking
account then you don't need the detailed information. You are only
reimbursing them for their costs and wouldn't be liable for payroll
liabilities anyway.

Allan can understand basic english, what Allan can't understand is how run
off in a tangent and entertain the idea that the workers are employed by a
third party?
