Adding Paid Sick Leave for the Coronavirus to a paycheck

The trouble ends here, NicoleN,

With the instructions below, you and your clients can be prepared for the payroll changes resulting from COVID-19 and make the most of these challenging times. Follow these steps:

1. Go to Employees menu, then Manage Payroll Items, then select New Payroll Item.

2. Select Custom Setup, then select Next. 

3. Select Addition, then select Next.
4. Give your pay type a name, such as National Paid Leave FMLA, in the text field and select Next.
5. Select COVID-19 Expenses (or whatever you named the expense account) as the expense account, and then Next. 
6. In the Tax Tracking type window, Select National Paid Leave FMLA, then Next.
7. In the Taxes window, select Next.
8. In the Calculate Based on Quantity window, select Neither, and then select Next.
9. In the Default Rate and Limit window, make sure the rate is at 0 and the limit is at $10,000, select One Time Limit from the Limit Type drop-down, and select Finish. 

Once you've finished these steps you'll be able to add paid sick leave to an employees paycheck. If you need help with anything else, I'd suggest checking out, How to track paid leave and sick time for the Coronavirus. It's a helpful link with a lot of detail.
