We have a client with a Workers Comp OCIP program. It would be awesome if we could set those jobs to a 0% comp code so we don't have to do a journal transaction to correct the workers comp payable account. I know we can do it manually now by creating a 0% cost code but it would be cool to have it be done automatically.

Could there just be a checkbox on the job window that would handle this?
Or similar to job paygroups- have a table to set up in case there are multiple codes involced.
Also, it would be helpful if we have jobs in multiple states to be able to default certain comp codes to specific jobs
It is great that in the cost code screen you have the option to select worker's compensation codes, I can enter default codes but when you work in multiple states that use different code numbers it does not cross reference. If there was the option in the cost code setup to indicate multiple state codes and then the payroll locale on the job screen directed the comp code much like the payroll locale directs to the specific tax table that may fix this issue. Maryland 6306 Sewer is Delaware 603 Sewer, I have two carriers one for each state and every week have to manually check behind my payroll clerk on the selections. In addition, most carriers require if you are doing primarily sewer work on a project that all work fall under that classification; so if you were able to select a default workers compensation code in job setup and then check a box to override such as always use job comp code similar to the employee option. And the contractor select company defaults to determine which checkbox gets priority over the other.
