Changing Sick Limit Year

Hello there, slippitt. 

The Hours used in 2020 is a field calculates from the accrual date you've entered (07/01/2019 - present). It shows as 2020 since we're on the present year. We can run the Sick Time and Vacation Time used in the given time frame. 

Let's update QuickBooks first to its latest release and the payroll update to get the most up to date fixes and patches. 

Here's how to run the report: 

1. Go to Reports menu, then select Employees & Payroll > Payroll Item Detail.
2. Select Customize Report.
3. Go to Display tab, then select the following information for Columns:
   • Type
   • Date
   • Source Name
   • Payroll Item
   • Wage Base
   • Qty
   • Amount
4. Click OK.
5. Set the Date Range (time frame for the report).
6. Click Refresh. 

If the calculation is still off, we can Verify and Rebuild the Data. 

Let me know how this works. I'll keep an eye on your reply. Take care always!

This is just how it works.  The YTD used, like the rest of the YTD summary numbers on a paycheck are for this payroll year (2020) and won't include activity from 2019.

So you mean this whole time I've ran a PTO list, it's been wrong?

Because I just ran it and it doesn't show the Hours Used in 2020 based on the accrual date.

Good afternoon, @slippitt. 

Thanks for following up on this thread. 

In QuickBooks Desktop, you can run a Payroll Summary report and change the date for 2019. 

Here's how:

1. Select Employees, then Employee Center. 
2. Choose an employee from the list, if the employee isn't listed, you may need to change the view.
3. Under Reports for this employee, click on the Payroll Summary link. 
4. Adjust the date range appropriately.

Their paystubs are showing hours used in 2020.  Not during the accrual period.  Which means the PTO balances they think they have are completely wrong.

I agree.  Employees paystubs look like they have full PTO restored on 1/1.  This is confusing and misleading to the employee and honestly not helpful.  

This is a HUGE problem for me as well.  Running reports doesn't help.  The information on their paystubs HAVE to show the correct amounts for used and available - and they are not when your Paid Sick Time starts July 1st.  What is the point in putting your year in and it doesn't do anything with it.  I can't be the only one with this problem.  HELP please!!!

Showing the correct information for used and available paid sick time is our priority, KimCarlisle.
