How to print sick/vacation used on pay stubs in QBO?

Great to see you here, @rbd2.

I'll make sure you'll be able to print sick and vacation on your paystubs in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

To start off, make sure that you've created vacation and sick pay payroll items, then add them to your employee's paycheck. These will automatically track the vacation and sick hours of the employee.

Here's how:

1.  Go to the Lists menu at the top, then click Payroll Item List.
2.  From the Payroll Item drop-down on the bottom left, choose New.
3. Select Custom Setup, then Next.
4. Choose Wage, then Next, and select Annual Salary or Hourly Wages (depending on whether you have salaried or hourly employees).
5. Click Next and select Sick or Vacation Pay, then Next again.
6. Enter a name for the item, then Next.
   Note: If you use the time off you can rename this item to TO.
7. Choose the expense account you want for the item, then Finish.

For your reference, here's an article that'll further guidance on how to set up and pay sick and vacation time: Set up and track time off in payroll.

Once done, you can go ahead and print your employee's pay stubs. Here's how:

1. Go to the List menu at the top, then click Print Forms.
2. Choose Pay Stubs.
3. Put a checkmark on your employee's name
4. You can tap the Preview button to double-check.
5. Once done, choose Print.

In case you need to track your employee's used, available, accrued, and maximum Vacation and Sick time, you can refer to this link in customizing the Employees & Payroll reports.

Please let me know how it goes by leaving a comment below. I'd be glad to answer if you have follow-up questions. Wishing you and your business continued success!

I also need to be able to print YTD sick / vacation PTO time in QBO on paystubs.   

From the instructions given - When I click on the "list" menu at the top, "Print Forms" is not an option.   "Payroll Item List" is also not an option.   

If I go to Employees - then Payroll Items - I can see a list of types of hourly / salary wages that we use.   If I go into an Employee's profile - then Pay Types - then Time Off Policies.  I can see there the Time off policies that have been created.  I can edit their rules there. 

However - I do not see anywhere to add the option to include YTD PTO used on an employee's paystub.  How can the employee see that information on a regular basis?

In the sample from Quickbooks support, they include this screenshot showing that it IS possible.  How do we get this information on our QB paystubs?

This is a vital part of most company's payroll - the ability to track what PTO has been used / what is available / etc.  Employees and Employers need this information.  This is a basic part of all payroll - and we are paying for full payroll support.  What is the work around for this information?  I don't see a single report that can be set up to auto send to every employee.  Certainly QBO does not expect payroll admins to email every employee every month a personal email / customized report that has to be created / exported / attached for each person?
