Colorado General Paid Sick Leave

Hello there, @denflores.

I can share some insights on how you can set up your sick pay accrual in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll. Follow the steps below:

1. Click the Edit menu, then select Preferences.
2. Choose Payroll and Employees, then go to the Company Preferences.
3. Select Sick and Vacation.
4. Under Set accrual limit, select Maximum hours at a time.

Since you are accruing 1 hour for every 30 hours worked by the employee, that should be 2 minutes accrued time for 1 hour. See this:

How do you set this up on the online version of Quickbooks?

Hi there, @Kristy31. I'll be happy to walk you through this so you can set up a sick leave in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) company.

Before setting up a sick leave in QBO, you'll want to ensure you've set your company to track time off. Doing this makes it easy to track your employees' time when they're away from work. I'll input the steps below so you can proceed. To begin, here's how:

1. Access your QuickBooks Online company.
2. Go to Payroll, then Employees.
3. Select your employee.
4. From Pay types, select Start or Edit.
5. Scroll down to the Time off policies section. From the Paid time off, Unpaid time off, Sick Pay, or Vacation Pay ▼ dropdown, select Add new [time off pay] policy.
6. Complete the on-screen fields to create your policy, then select Save.
7. When finished, select Save.

For more information, please see this article: Set up and track time off in payroll.

Once everything is set, see this helpful article for a complete step-by-step process of setting up a sick leave in QBO: Enter sick pay or vacation pay hours for salaried employees.

Additionally, I've got you this article in case you'd like to add a copy of all the paychecks that you've processed inside your company: Add pay history to QuickBooks Online Payroll.
