My new comp company allows me to assign different comp classes to the same worker. This can make a big difference on my bill as groundies are 15% and climbers are 40%. Previously I would pay the climber rate on the climber gross, which was a lot simpler to keep track of.

Right now I am keeping tracking of hours on a simple word sheet and then add them into my payroll software. But now to prove different comp rates for the same worker I'll need something better in an excell spreadsheet. Do any of you guys have a template for this? I am not that computer savy so making my own would take hours and hours.
 
I dont know if you use quickbooks, but you could easily track it with employee time sheets, which you could print a report for the insurance company.
 
Easily? I've been trying to figure it out on there for years. I just don't get it. Started this year entering all hours using time sheets in Quickbooks and can't even figure out how to get a report out of it, where can you pull up the info?
I just do it on paper and fill out their form each month.

If you go to reports, then the employee section.
 
Yes I've looked in there, nothing with hours by class broken out?
 
Worker's comp is so annoying... I am paying 41% tree pruning and 15% landscaping.

What is a good payroll service to use when giving one worker the 2 different codes? I can't do it with my Bank of America Easy online Payroll
 
I got a program that does it made for my state workers comp. I bought it through them and it prints and sends directly to them.

In pa its:

$40 per every $100 payroll tree work
$9 per every $100 payroll landscaping

In quickbooks, you can breakup hours as many times as you want. Plus you can do your payroll in quicksbooks. Its so easy. After you put in there hours worked, its just a couple clicks and you got printed checks, or a paystub and a small check out of your checkbook.
