Hi goodlife-grayden,
Thanks for posting in the Community!
You got it right! If you need to pay sick leave for an employee, you can use the Personal/Carers Leave category when creating the pay run. Here's how:
- Click on the Employees tab.
- Click on New pay run.
- Click on the employee name, and click on Actions.
- Click on Take leave.
- A new line will show under Leave Taken, select the Personal/Carers Leave category and fill out the hours or days to apply.
- Click on Save.
You can also check your leave categories by going to your Payroll settings and select Leave Categories. To learn more about managing leave in QuickBooks Online Payroll, you can check this article: How to Add Leave Categories in QuickBooks Payroll.
