Thank you for responding. My payroll is set up already. I have the desktop premier version. 

all I am wondering is why in the employee record i dont have the Sick/vacation button i just have vacation... and in my company preferences i dont have the option to adjust and add the sick function either. 

am i not able to track with this version or am i missing something?

is there a better way to track if i cannot do it as above. 

Thanks, 

Hi there,

It's important that you get the assistance you need in order to run payroll. For further help with setting up your sick policy, if you don't see the option to add it, I recommend reaching out to the QuickBooks Desktop support team outside of the Community. They'll be able to view what you see through a screen share in a secure setting in order to see the settings of your software to help you get your sick pay. You can reach them using the methods outlined in the QuickBooks Desktop software support policies.

If you have any other questions,m feel free to reach out here.
