Paystub error

It's nice to hear from you again, @redrae.

 

I'd like to inform you that our developers are still evaluating the main reason of this behavior so they can come up with a constant resolution. We don't have a specific time frame as to when is this going to be resolved but rest assured this has been taken care of.

 

I realize the inconvenience that this issue has caused you, but your patience while this has been worked on is much appreciated. If you've already reached out to our Customer Care Team, you can count on receiving recent information about this once updates will be rolled out.

 

In the event that you should have questions about this, or need anything else, you can find me here.

While I appreciate that you are working on a fix, the fact that this is still an issue months later is unacceptable.  You have no idea the trouble it causes.  I have to print paystubs to .pdf, then place a white box over the YTD line, then print the paystubs.  Fortunately I don't have to print actual checks.

 

Why not just remove the YTD line until the problem is fixed?  The current period line and balance work just fine.  There was no YTD line before and everyone I know was content with that.

Has there been any update or resolution to this?  Almost through the 2019 year and everyone has been dealing with incorrect YTD issues on their paystubs all year.  Any word from anyone if they upgraded to 2020 version and that is working correctly?  Thanks.

Re: Has there been any update or resolution to this? Almost through the 2019 year and everyone has been dealing with incorrect YTD issues on their paystubs all year.

 

It's amazing, isn't it?  I reread some of the posts here and then tested this in a test file. I duplicated it easily with no effort at all. I can't make QB work right in any case.

 

The case seems very simple:

- Intuit  tried to create a new pay stub feature to break out the Sick and Vacation into two sections and added a YTD row for each.

- They didn't code it right and didn't test it for more than about 30 seconds.

- As a result:

   - Sick YTD appears to display all of the accrued sick time for the employee for all time.  Clearly wrong.

   - Vacation YTD appears to always be blank.

 

From this I can only conclude that a drunk engineer coded it, another drunk engineer reviewed the code, and a stoned and drunk QA tester never even tried it, but signed off on it anyway.

 

This is just a simple looking classic bug.  It simply doesn't work. It is easy to duplicate, which should mean it is easy to fix. 

 

The Accrued sick and vacation time is stored on every paycheck.  All Intuit needs to do is fix the query to use this year's paychecks as a source of the totals, through the check date, just like the YTD dollars that appear all over the pay stubs.

I am sorry, but this is a canned, garbage answer.  This problem was reported over 10 months ago.  Still no fix.  I run updates all the time.

 

The simple answer is take this line of coding out and put the coding back to where it was before the YTD line was added.  Then add the line back in once the problem is fixed.  

 

I have clients with 25 employees and I am in California.  I have to print every paystub to pdf, place a white box over the YTD line, then print the paystubs.  Unacceptable!!!!  This kind of customer service is the reason so many people are moving away from Quickbooks and Intuit.  I personally know several professional accountants who are moving their clients away.  There is no longer any customer service, not even for Proadvisors.  

 

And don't tell me to call customer support, because I do not have an hour to waste on hold.

It seems Intuit development in India cannot be bothered to fix the inaccurate pay stubs they created - which should take a junior engineer about a day to fix.

 

I mean, you know, how important could accurate pay stubs be, really?

Sixteen months this issue has persisted.  Five months for you to respond to the last person who posted a comment.  Seriously.  It is obvious that the software engineers could care less.  It is obvious Intuit could care less.  How difficult is it to remove a line from the paystub form that wasn't there in previous versions?  And do not tell me to contact support.  I already have, and they ignored me.  Whatever happened to premium support for ProAdvisors.  It has become a joke.   Intuit clearly cares nothing about doing anything except pushing QBO down our throats and offering bookkeeping services to put us out of business so that they can make more $$$$.  Shameful.  This is a simple fix, JUST REMOVE THE LINE FROM THE PAYSTUB until you can make it work!!!!  And some of us will never go to QBO, ever.  Tried it, and it is the worst peace of expensive garbage that I have ever seen.

I agree with you they are pushing QBO. But if this is an example of their customer service I would never advised anyone to use their bookkeeping service.

I just did payroll today and looked at the YTD Accrued Sick time. It seems to be a better number. Still not correct, but at least the numbers aren't in the hundreds like they used to be. I would prefer if there was no number there since it's useless. The YTD Accrued Vacation  time is left blank, so I don't know why they can't just leave the sick time blank too.

It is so frustrating and ludicrous that this glitch has never been fixed.  I thought for sure it would be over in January 2021, but no, it's not.  My last payroll for 2020 was on 12/31/2020, but instead of showing the year end on the paystubs, Quickbooks started the new year early and the accrual on all the paystubs was reset and the "accrued" and "used" sick and vacation time to zero!  This shouldn't have happened until my first payroll of 2021.  Now, it will go all through 2021 being incorrect again because this has not been fixed and Intuit obviously does not care.  Unbelievable!

If it is your priority to solve this issue....why is it April 2021 and I am still having the issue?

I do payroll for 54 different businesses.  I don't have time to redact incorrect information on every pay stub every day.  This has been a known error for what looks like well over a year.  When will it be fixed?

Joining the thread to help with your question about the paystub error, SeaBkk.

 

The status of the investigation that's attached to this thread is already closed and resolved. Since you're still getting the same issue, let me share a couple of steps that can resolve unexpected results when working in QuickBooks Desktop. 

 

First, make sure that you have the latest QuickBooks maintenance release. Here's an article as a guide: Update QuickBooks Desktop to the Latest Release.

 

Second, download and install a payroll update, Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Employees menu, then select Get Payroll Updates.
  2. Put a check in the Download Entire Update checkbox.
  3. Select Download Latest Update.

 

Once done, open the latest paystub to check if the sick accrual is already correct. 

 

Also, aside from going to the Help menu, there's also a different way of reaching out to our Payroll Support Team. Go to these links to get one of our chat support agents to take a closer look and determine the cause of the issue:

 

 

Feel free to check out these articles as well just in case you might need them when running payroll in QuickBooks:

No, you’re wrong. This problem is far from resolved. The yearly sick pay accrual is still calculating incorrectly no matter how many times the software is updated.

Hi, sfister.

 

Since the sick pay accrual still doesn't calculate correctly on your end, I recommend reaching out to our Support Team for further assistance. A live agent can look into your account securely and review each employee's sick or vacation time.

 

To contact support:

 

  1. Open your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) file.
  2. Go to Help, then select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
  3. Select Contact Us.
  4. Enter a brief description of your issue, then select Let's talk.
  5. Choose a way to connect with support.

 

I'm also adding this article for more tips about fixing issues with sick or vacation time in QBDT: Sick and vacation time incorrect or not accruing on paychecks.

 

Please keep in touch if you need more help with this. I'm determined to help. Keep safe!

Nope, Sfister is correct.  This still is not fixed.  The problem is not that sick time is not accruing correctly.  The problem is that the YTD line is WRONG.  It gives historical totals, not YTD.

 

Do not tell me to contact support.  I have done that twice already.  They do not understand, nor care about the problem!
