Payroll & Employees Technical Support

Discussion List

  • I have a question regarding how to categorize my income tax payments I make each year in wave, but specifically due to the fact that my income tax gets paid immediately. When my tax professional informs me of my tax owed, it is paid at that very moment. Therefore, my tax payments cannot even be considered a long term or short term liability. How t…

  • Hi, When I set up Wave Payroll years ago I chose a monthly payroll frequency and now due to changes in my business I need to change it to be twice monthly. When I check the settings it seems to say this is not possible for some reason. How do I make this change? Thanks!

  • With the change of removing WAVE from ADP, will my contractors still be paid via ADP? Or do I need to re- enter all their data into WAVE for them to be paid?

  • I've entered 2 employees but unfortunately I used the same email address for both. When I edit the employee, it says "Email is not editable because has accepted Wave access" for both employees. I tried contacting support but I got no response. Please help.

  • My payroll to the entire worldwide support team for COVID testing is now being held up or missing due to a company called DecisionLogic. I received a random request to enter my bank information and password. I cannot have 2 factor authentication since Wave will not import transactions from Wells Fargo with 2FA. So, I have an open account to any…

  • We are a small corporation in Canada. Our only employees are owners, so we have no reason to use Wave's payroll service. That said, we would still like to input gross and net pay so that our Wave reports document the differentiation between the two. It would be an added bonus to account for source deductions (tax and CPP only) as well, although no…

  • My company has occupations that fall under different risk codes. We will be performing one type of work that falls under a particular risk code one day, and then another on a different day. Is there a way two add multiple codes and then add hours to the payroll according to the task and related risk code? I sure don't want to be paying a higher L …

  • I am a single-member LLC that just finished my first full year of business. My CPA had me open a SEP IRA and contribute for my previous year's taxes (2020), which we are able to do through April of the current year (2021). The check has cleared and in Wave, shows as a 2021 expense. How should I categorize this expense? How can I attribute the e…

  • I've set up my pay schedule for bi-weekly (pay periods are Monday to Sunday) with Friday (5 days after pay period ends) as pay day. However, in my set up before I was able to run my first payroll the pay period changed from March 1, 2021 - March 14, 2021 to March 8, 2021 - March 21, 2021 ... I have employee hours for March 1st that have not been p…

  • I think I got tripped up by the new payroll accounting process. As a result, my balance sheet shows, within current assets, a negative balance in an account called "Wave Payroll Clearing." How do I clear that negative balance out?

  • I have two journaled payroll entries on 12/15/2020 and 12/30/2020. I do not want to use "liability" to track the tax splits, but when I change it, I just get the "There was an error saving". I can change all other journaled payroll entries just fine. Any ideas of what is wrong?

  • Is there any form of customer service I can contact directly? Multiple tickets requested and no one gets back to me. My payroll says that my pay has been deposited but nothing hit my bank account, and I have bills to pay! I've already checked with my bank to see if there is a hold placed on the deposit and nothing. Its impossible to get in contac…

  • Hello, I have an erroneous journal entry I attempted to delete, but it still reports itself in the gross pay of my profit and loss balance sheet. I need to be able to remove it completely at the very least from being counted. I understand Wave does not allow you to delete a journal entry.

    I downloaded and printed the W3 for my employee and the amount in box 18. Local wages, tips, etc. is double what it should be. All of the other boxes are correct. How do I correct this???

  • I'm trying to understand why the direct deposits I have going out are stuck in "scheduled"?! First Wave calls my company a risk and blocks us from being able to accept payments via invoice. Now you can take our money and hold it hostage when I have two contractors we have to pay and we are a day behind and I'm not happy about that at al…

  • Posting under a new discussion since my question has gone unanswered on the another thread. If there is not enough tax withholdings to cover the Sick and Family Medical Leave Credit and a refund is owed, how is this recorded through the payroll journal transaction? Where is the offset for the credit to income reflected since there is no debit ava…

  • I have my payroll set up and the first payroll should have been processed for the month of January. When I click on the dates to change this from February to January, the dates wont change. Does anyone know how I can run a January payroll?

Our current method is: Credit Account > Employee Payments Received "Employee Benefits Received" - - We created it as an after-tax deduction from pay - - Problem: I…

  • Hello - how can I get this fixed? Wave support is only bots, can't call or chat with someone who can fix this. I was charged $92 for February even though I deactivated my account weeks ago! And no one is answering the number given on my bank charge! This is bordering on fraud and I need to know how this can be rectified.

  • I paid a 1099 contractor's bills via the Payroll function 4 times. The first three I was able to merge the Accounting/Transactions Bill/Payroll entry with the Bank imported Withdrawal entry. The 4th set of transactions allows me to check both entries and Merge button is not greyed out and I can click it but nothing happens. Transactions have match…

  • On any given pay period, I may have one or more Deleted Payrolls due to last-minute modifications as I am processing. The deleted payroll journal entry always shows up on the Transaction page and prior to the upgrade, I would just delete the bad ones and Approve the correct one. Now when I try to delete, the error msg says "The selected tran…

  • Wave's introduction of the "Wave Payroll Clearing" account is fine, I suppose. BUT I have a situation dated early January 2021, where I have a credit to the clearing account which has not been (automatically) matched with the payment from the bank account. I have tried allocating the payment transaction to the clearing account, but Wave …

  • Hello, my client I am tracking in Wave has contractors that he will be paying this year but they also will be situations where they need to get reimbursed for out-of pocket expenses periodically. For this type of setup, can anyone advise on if I need to set up both a contractor and vendor record for an individual. The contractor would be to capt…

  • New here. Can someone please tell me if I can override the account set up and manually enter the ABA and account number associated with my business account to add as a funding source. The attributed institution type on the list is for the Personal login and not the Business accounts which has a separate login.
