Rollover sick time for Jan 1: If I edit someone's current balance to roll over time, is it subject to the max setting or is the max only for the accrual period?

EX: Employee has 20 hours of PT from 2024 they can carry into 2025. Their max PT is set 40 hours. If I adjust their current balance on 1/1/25 to 20, will they stop accruing PT when their current balance hit 40 hours, or when their current balance hits 60 hours? (20 carried over and 40 for the year). OR is there a better place to set this so I don't have to manually do this every year?

Yes, @info2087. Any sick time accrued from the previous year is subject to the maximum accrual settings you have established. However, I know a way to avoid manual adjustments each year. Let’s make this process seamless for you.

 

To streamline this process and reduce the need for manual adjustments each year, I recommend considering a third-party application that integrates with QBO. You can find available options by visiting the QuickBooks App Store and navigating to the CATEGORIES section to select an app that best suits your needs.

 

Many payroll and HR management tools offer more flexible options for handling sick leave accruals, including automated rollover features and better tracking of employee balances. These applications can help ensure compliance with your company's policies while minimizing administrative overhead.

 

Moreover, I'll share these valuable articles to streamline your payroll management. These resources will guide you on timely direct deposit submissions, setting up payroll schedules, and generating reports for a clearer view of your business finances:
