Payroll Vacation and Sick time

In the past I have not used the sick and vacation sections in Quickbooks Premier Plus as I could not get the balanced to work properly.  With new state sick time laws, I am required to show the balances and accruals on the paystub.  I have followed the steps to set up for the Payroll Policy, but the accruals are not working properly or I am incorrect on how I have set up the accruals.  We allow our employees to carry over any vacation and sick time that they have not used to the new year.  My question is how do I build their carry over into my available hours. Note I need to show sick time accruals based on hours worked, vacation is front loaded for the year.

Payroll Vacation and Sick time

Hi there, Angie.

 

I understand the importance of your sick and vacation time accruals affecting your business in using QuickBooks Desktop with your business. You can carry over those hours into their available hours by going to the Preference menu and editing them.

 

Here’s how:

 

1. At the top of your QBDT account, choose Edit.
2. Select Preferences, then Payroll & Employees.

3. Click on the Company Preferences.

4. Tap on the Sick and Vacation tab.

5. From there, you can personalize your Sick and Vacation details.

  • Ensure that you have set your Accrual period to Every hour on paycheck.
  • Marked check the Reset hours each new year? to be able to carry over the maximum hours.

6. Tap Done, once you’re finished.

 

You can read this article for further guidelines on sick pay accruals on QBDT: Understand sick pay accrual limits in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

 

Moreover, check out this article on setting up and tracking time off in payroll in QuickBooks: Set up and track time off in payroll.

 

Let me know if you have further inquiries about setting up your employee's sick time accruals in your QBDT by leaving a comment below. I’ll be here to assist you at any time.
