Employee & Employer Health Plan Contributions

Health Plan Premium (Pre-tax) is used to record employee health insurance deductions and is deducted on a pre-tax basis. If you elected to cover a portion of your employees' healthcare costs, Employer Contribution amounts can be added via the deduction section of your employee's profile.

Employer contributions are shown under "Benefits" on pay stubs and are reflected in Box 12 Code DD of your employee's W-2.
