Glad to see you in the Community, Herschel.
I appreciate for sharing with us detailed information about your concern. Since the vacation hours accrued by the employee are beyond the cap, I suggest consulting with a tax adviser for further assistance.
They can provide advice on how to account for vacation hours in QBO. Making sure it complies with the state and company policy.
Once you have the information handy, let’s create a check for the employee. The steps are quick and simple. Here’s how:
- Go to the Workers menu on the left panel to select Employees.
- Hit the Run Payroll button in the upper right hand.
- On the Run Payroll page, mark the radio button for the correct pay schedule and then click Continue.
- From the list, choose the employee you're working on.
- Enter the time off hours and hit the Preview payroll button.
- Choose Preview payroll details or Submit payroll.
- Click Finish Payroll.
If you want to create a final check for the worker, the Create final paychecks for terminated employees link will walk you through the process.
For additional resources, check out the Setup and track time off in payroll guide. It provides an overview of how to change the time off policy as well as steps to add paid or unpaid time off. Then, choose QuickBooks Online Payroll to view the complete details.
Let me also share this article for more insights about: California paid sick leave changes for 2015. It outlines the instructions on how to enter an accrual basis for 1 hour of sick time accrued for every 30 hours worked and 24 hours or 3 days at the beginning of each calendar year or anniversary date.
