how to set up paid sick time that started to accrual time on 2/21/2025 at the rate of 1 hour per 30 worked

Good evening, @JaseCleaning.

 

How are you doing today? I hope all is well. 

 

Below, I'm including some steps to walk you through the process of setting up paid sick leave for your employees. 

 

  1. On the left navigation panel, click Payroll.
  2. Go to the Employees tab. Then, select an employee.
  3. Scroll down to the Pay types section. Click Edit.
  4. Edit the sick pay policy. Choose Per hour worked on the Hours are accrued dropdown.
  5. Enter the amount of time in the Hours per hour worked field.
    • The Maximum allowed is based on the frequency of when hours are accrued. This means if your employee reaches the amount entered, their sick leave hours will automatically be limited to that number.
  6. Hit Save.

 

For the time already accrued, you'll need to manually enter the employee's balance. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Payroll, then Employees.
  2. Choose your employee.
  3. From Time off, select Start or Edit.
  4. Select Edit next to the policy to make changes. Or update the Current balance.
  5. Edit the policy, then tap Save.
  6. When finished, hit Save.

 

That should do the trick. For more information about this process, check out the help articles below. 

 

 

Please don't hesitate to let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with. I'm happy to lend a hand. Have a good one!
