Hi there, @sjmanos.
Thank you for contacting us about setting up paid leave with your private insurance plan in QuickBooks Online. I would like to provide some information on how Delaware Paid Leave operates, particularly regarding its implementation and the benefits for employees.
Since you are using a private insurance plan, Delaware Paid Leave only applies to employers in Delaware without a private plan. Therefore, I recommend exempting your employees from Delaware Paid Leave since you are already covered by private insurance.
Here are the steps on how to create an exemption:
- Navigate to Payroll, then select Employees.
- Choose your employee.
- In the Tax withholding, select Edit.
- From State withholding, below Delaware Paid Family and Medical Leave, select Employee is exempt from this contribution.
- Hit Save.
Additionally, let me include a resource for setting up and managing payroll items for your insurance benefit plan in QuickBooks Online Payroll: Set up and Manage Payroll items for the insurance benefits plan.
For future reference, after you set up and manage payroll, if you want to add deductions that your employee needs to pay each payday in QuickBooks Online Payroll, here's a link: Set up, change, or delete employee-paid payroll deductions.
