Quickbooks Payroll Classes
- Use classes in QuickBooks Payroll when
- You have two or more locations included in the gross payroll and you want to separate the expense and report it to the various locations, or
- you have any other reason to report different groups of employee wages.
- First, set up classes.

- Add one new class for each location. We recommend that you use a 3-letter abbreviation.
- If you are one of our monthly clients, please use our symbol. Call Dutch Hawkins at (985) 264-9040 or (404) 303-7916 to get your symbol.
- From now on when you prepare payroll,
- Do it exactly as before, but in addition
- In the upper right corner of the payroll hour-and-wage tile, see [Class].
- Select one for each and every case, hourly, salary, overtime, or other.
- EXAMPLE:
- Your employee Joachim Desaugne worked 38 hours.
- He worked 25 hours at ABC and 13 hours at XYZ.
- You have already set up the classes ABC and XYZ.
- Select [hourly rate] and 25 hours. Select ABC as the class.
- Go to the second line. Select [hourly rate] again and 13 hours on this line. Select XYZ as the class.
- If you do that, we can use the following reports:
- [Payroll Summary], [Modify], [by class]
- [Company & Financial], [Profit & Loss by Class]
