Thank you for bringing this up, @Lauralu. I understand you’re looking to set up accrued sick time hours based on hours worked for commission-only employees in QuickBooks Online Payroll. I’d like to clarify that the current setup is designed to ensure accurate tracking for commission-based employees.
 

Since hours worked aren’t automatically calculated for these types of employees, manually entering the accrued sick time ensures flexibility and accuracy in tracking hours worked and calculating balances.
 

This approach is particularly beneficial for commission-only employees, as their pay is not tied to hours worked in the same way as hourly employees.
 

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have further questions.

I understand that. However, why should I have to manually calculate the sick time accrual and manually enter those hours, when paying for a system that should be able to do it for me? Can't it be set up where I enter the basis hours and calculate the sick time accrual automatically? Currently, by manually calculating hours, manually entering accrued and changing the accrued hours, these employees never see the current amount, but only their total.
