Payroll - Worker's Comp Reports
Worker's compensation laws were created to allow employees who die or suffer a
disability on the job or as a consequence of performing their functions
financial recourse without the need for litigation. AccountMate allows you to
track and calculate the employer's liability for worker's compensation. You
simply set up the worker's compensation codes and groups; then, assign these to
the applicable earning codes. Each time an earning code set up for worker's
compensation is used in a payroll transaction, AccountMate calculates the
employer liability based on the parameters set up for the worker's compensation
code and group.
The Worker's Comp Reports are available to help you track your worker's
compensation liability. Read the information below to get a closer look at each
of the Worker's Comp Reports available in AccountMate.
Worker's Comp Code Listing
Worker's compensation code represents the various legal provisions that govern
the implementation of worker's compensation. These codes facilitate recording
of the company's worker's compensation liability. The Worker's Comp Code
Listing serves as a quick reference for a complete list of worker's
compensation codes and their descriptions as set up in AccountMate.

Worker's Comp Group Listing
A variety of information on the worker's compensation groups set up in
AccountMate is available in the Worker's Comp Group Listing. It displays for
each worker's compensation group the GL Account ID to which AccountMate posts
the accumulated liability and the states for which you are setting up the
worker's compensation codes assigned to the group. The report also displays for
each worker compensation code the associated premium rate for every $100-worth
of qualified wages, the experience factor by which the worker's compensation
premium is adjusted upon meeting or exceeding a certain threshold, and the
maximum amount of liability that can be accumulated in a given tax year. This
report serves as a quick reference for the worker's compensation group records.

Worker's Comp Transaction Report
The Worker's Comp Transaction Report allows you to track the worker's
compensation liability that is calculated based on the payroll checks. The
report shows the worker's comp code and group and their associated employee
numbers and names, earning codes, bank numbers, check numbers, amount of
earnings, worker's comp wages and rates, and worker's compensation liability,
among others. You can use this report to verify the accuracy of the
system-calculated liability for worker's compensation.
