  • I'm using payroll though Wave. How can I set the expense accounts so that I can segregate between those employees whose pay I want to record as direct labor (i.e impacting gross profit) versus other employees, myself included. whose salary I want to include as a wages?

  • I have just reinstated wave and my employee after being on maternity leave. I am trying to approve the payroll (due tomorrow) but it defaults to 1.5 years ago when I stopped using my account its picking up where I left off. Its really frustrating and I cant figure out how to change my payroll dates to the more recent one.

Facts * I have 10 customers that pay me a monthly fee * I have 6 simple monthly business expenses * I take income - minus monthly business expenses = taxable income simp…

  • I'm trying to run my first payroll, but the one employee (me) doesn't show up in payroll. Message is that I have to add an employee in order to run payroll. The payroll dates are July 3 - 31. Payday is today, August 9. Employee's salary is active since July 1. I've checked setting several times, but I'm must be missing something.

  • Hey all, This year is a bit of an odd year but I have moved from being employed (over half the year) and am now contracting out. After reading piles of government material (Canada - BC/AB to be exact), they said that until you pass the $30,000 threshold of earned income outside of your employment, you do not need a registered number/business as a…

  • I run a 501c3 boosters club for our local high school. We have a number of coaches whose stipends we pay and I’d like to streamline and organize this process. I’ve read what I could here. Your documentation is fantastic. 1. We will be paying out coaches probably 3x/year. I’d like to do direct deposit. Will we have to pay the monthly payroll f…

  • What's Wave's best practice for reimbursing employees for business expenses? Does Wave have built-in functionality or a workflow that supports employees submitting expense reports for reimbursement? These expenses are incurred on an employee's personal credit card or paid out of pocket with cash. I've read the reimbursable expenses FAQ, but that u…

  • We are a seasonal lawn care business with only 1 or 2 employees and we are only in operation about 6 months of the year. Would we have to pay for the payroll service during the months we aren't in operation, or could we pay month by month during the months we need it?

  • Aloha, Is there any way to change the payroll frequency? We are in the US and need to change the payroll frequency from semi monthly to bi-weekly. This is because we have hired more people and have seasonal hires and realized that bi-weekly payroll makes more sense. I found that Waves does not allow to change the pay frequency after the first pay …

  • Hi there, I only have 1 employee (myself) on payroll on a salary so was wondering if there is a way to just set Payroll to automatically be approved and paid on the day it is due? Thanks

  • I have read all the other 401k posts available - BUT how does one move the payroll money to the correct account for Employee Contributions? I have added the Deduction to the Employee Record ($ every pay cycle), but not sure what's going to happen next and how to actually acquire the funds to move them.

I have started to invoice someone for some subcontract work, my question is that when I receive the monies for the invoice what income category do I put it under? Is it simply I…

  • I'm not signed up for Payroll yet because I only have contractors and that piece just opened up for Wave. But, I'm considering moving my 1099 payments over from Square to Wave now. How long does it take for money to be direct deposited into my contractor's account? (Same day, 2 days, 1 week...)

  • Hi there, I have now setup Wave to do my Payroll, and also have a bank connection with my checking account that payroll is paid out of. That is resulting in 2 entries - 1 created by Payroll, and one for the withdrawal from my account - see the image to make that clear. Is there a way to merge the 2 (ideally automatically)? If not, do I just delete…

  • Is there a way to pay my 1099 contractors by piece/service? I invoice them by pieces assembled or service conducted. I would love to be able to pull an invoice and see what their payroll by the invoice would be?

  • Hi there, my business is setup as an LLC. I want to start paying myself payroll for the first time (no other employees) and am setting that up in Wave. Do you know if I need to separately file a DE 34 Report of New Employee with the California EDD or if that is handled by Wave tax filing? Thanks!

  • We have been using Payroll by Wave for a few months. I initially sent all of our employees the invitation to view their paystubs in Wave, but several of them didn't do it right away. When the employees tried to click the link again, they get an error message that the link is expired. On my side, there is no option to re-send the link, or to edit t…

  • I have followed instructions trying to change the Federal Tax Allowances on the Federal Tax Details screen. Each time I make the change and save, it reverts back to the previously saved entry. I would like to update this asap before running my next payroll. Please advise.

I have a question regarding employee Federal and State (CA) income tax withholding Effective January 1, 2019 - my LLC has elected to be taxed as an S Corp.

  • I have three employees however the one employee is paid a different day than the other two, so the payroll doesn't match my pay stubs. When I change the payday it changes for everyone. Is there a way to change it for just the one employee?

  • One of our 3 employees is not having PA Local Income tax withheld from the paycheck. The rate should be 1% like the other employees, however, nothing is being withheld for this erson.
