How do I set up sick leave accruals for the new Colorado State sick leave law? 1 hour earned for every 30 hours worked. Please help.. not sure how to come up with the calculation.
Thanks for joining the Community, Eward.
After setting up your time off policy, you'll be able to enter sick leave accruals for employees. I'd be more than happy to guide you through our process for adding paid/unpaid time off.
Here's how it works:
As for calculating what you should enter while setting up these accruals, I'd recommend working with an accounting professional. If you're in need of one, there's an awesome tool on our website called Find an Accountant. Each ProAdvisor listed there is QuickBooks-certified and able to provide helpful insights to drive your business's success.
I've additionally included an extensive resource about tracking time off that may come in handy moving forward: Set up & track time off in payroll

TC60 - Did you ever figure out how to add the s/l for CO?
Just spent 1 1/2 hours talking to QB Support to correctly set up the new mandatory Colorado Sick Pay and did not receive any help at all. Then she hung up on me.
I am using QB online Core Payroll. How do I set this up correctly:
Employee gets 1 hour of sick time for every 30hours worked up to 48 hours. This time can be carried over to future years but can't be paid out to employee if they leave.
This isn’t the experience we want to leave to you, @Foss Co.
To set up the new mandatory Colorado sick pay in QuickBooks Online Core Payroll, you need to go to your employees' profiles.
Here’s how:
Since step 6 require the exact employees' hours set up, I recommend contacting our payroll support once more to help you further. This way, we can ensure your employees get 1 hour of sick time for every 30-48 hours worked.

I have set up sick leave accrual for CO but I just realized that sick leave is also being accrued on sick leave hours. Shouldn't it only be accruing sick leave on hours actually worked? How do I change this? There doesn't seem to be a parameter for this.
When paying sick leave, you should be able to look at the paycheck before finalizing & un-check box that says "accrue time off for this paycheck", which also makes sense for Holiday pay. I have "Online Payroll Core", so I'm speaking for that only. BUT I will say, you shouldn't be "accruing" any hours just when ONLY paying sick pay, as you're not putting any hours worked which is what accrues the sick pay in the 1st place. I just did a mock sick pay only check and it didn't accrue any more sick hours for that check. Perhaps you're combining a regular check with sick pay, and the accrued hours you're seeing are from the hours worked?
