Sick pay accrual - QBO payroll

Thank you for posting here on the Community page, @greg14. I can see you need to manage your sick actuals based on California. Let me share additional information about this topic in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

In QuickBooks Online, you can set up sick pay accrual based on hours worked for your employees. However, the system may not directly support specific carryover and accrual limits mandated by California law. To ensure compliance, you may need to manually monitor and adjust the sick pay accruals in QuickBooks Online to align with the legal requirements for sick leave in California.

Here's how:

1. Go to Payroll, then Employees.
2. Select your employee.
3. From Pay types, select Start or Edit.
4. Scroll down to the Time Off Policies section. From the Paid time off, Unpaid time off, Sick Pay, or Vacation Pay ▼ dropdown, select Add new [time off pay] policy.
5. Complete the on-screen fields to create your policy, then select Save.
6. When finished, select Save.

You can also view this page anytime if you need more guidance about the process of entering PTO for your employees: Set up and track time off in payroll.

Following the steps above will allow you to modify your maximum sick hours based on California regulations. If you have any more QuickBooks-related questions, feel free to share them here in the Community. We're always here and ready to help with your inquiries. Have a fantastic day!

thanks for your reply. 

This is not a good solution. It has taken me literally years to figure out that you don't support the carryover calculation. You should just post that as a warning right on the screen instead of trying to hide it.

I don't have time during busy season to try to figure out workarounds. This is not manageable with large workforces. I will be looking for other payroll solutions.
