    WSIB Remittence

    In my accounts payable I have an account that is titled WSIB Payable. It is holding the correct amount I need to remit to WIB. How do I do this?  If I set up a vendor under that name The amount owed is not there. If I do it thru the General Journal, how do I print out a check?  Tanks for your help

    Re: WSIB Remittence

    Once you create the WSIB vendor you must classify it as a Payroll Authority by placing a checkmark on the box entitled Payroll Authority (bottom right hand section under Inactive Vendor box).  Following this you must assign it by going to Setup>Settings>Payroll>Remittance and for the WCB line insert the WSIB vendor in the Payroll Authority column and fill in the date and amount for the balance forward.  To pay the balance owing then you can go to the Payments Journal and choose Pay Remittance in the top left field and WSIB in the Pay to the order field.  If the amount that comes up is not correct go back and adjust the Balance forward amount you inserted in the second section of this procedure.  Additional info can be gotten by going to Help>Search Help>Index tab and typing remittance.

    After creating a payroll entry, I looked at the 'display payroll journal entry' and there is no reference to the WSID and payable amonut. Is this normal?

    Re: WSIB Remittence

    If you go to the WSIB tab in the employee ledgers you can enter a percentage to accrue an expense and payable amount on each paycheque.  If you remit monthly this is only necessary if you need to allocate these amounts to projects.

    Re: WSIB Remittence

    Well, I found out it works well if I make a paycheck using 'Regular', "Commission", "Overtime", etc. but not "Income C". WSIB is not calculated and therfore not displayed in the jornal entry.

    So, how can I correct this?

    Re: WSIB Remittence

    What type of income is it set up as under Setup, Settings, Payroll, Incomes.  I just tested on Univesl and it works on that file.

    Re: WSIB Remittence

    Didn't ask about the checkmarks.  I asked what TYPE it was set up as so I could test the same thing here.

    Re: WSIB Remittence

    The Type is Income, does that help? I could change it to something else.

    After breif testing, it does not mater what type I have in 'Income C' THe WSIB is not calculated.

    Commission, Salary, Overtime1, Overtime2, and Regular all do this correctly.

    Re: WSIB Remittance

    Go to Setup>Settings>Payroll>Linked Accounts>Incomes.  Do you have your “Income C” linked to the Wages & Salaries account?

    Re: WSIB Remittence

    My sample file is set at Income also.  My concern was whether it was set to reimbursement of something like that which would not normally be WSIB applicable.

    As Michael mentions, check the linked accounts to make sure they are set up, otherwise check the sample file to make sure it does what you want and follow all settings to see if they are the same in your file.

     I would also check that you have the latest update installed.  If you have the 2008 version, you should be on Release C.  You can check which release you're on by going to Help-About Simply Accounting.

    Re: WSIB Remittence

    I have version 2009... I spent an hour on the telephone with tech support and yes, there is a bug!

    Well, now to wait for the fix. It seems my database is not converted properly.

    I have to do an adavanced database check when I get home.

    Re: WSIB Remittence

    I finally got the enrty to work.

     

    After doing an advanced database check, and changing a few items in the 'Income C' settings, then back again to reset the database, I was able to make an entry with WSIB showing up in the journal entry.

    I do have more question, but I'll start another thread.

     

    Than kyou everyone.
