Sick time

When accruing an amount per hour, you can include or exclude sick and vacation hours taken in the calculation. That's the only option.

Hello. Is there a way that each employee can have a total of the maximum sick time in their account, so that they know their maximum and payroll managers are aware as well.

Hi there, FDNC Cammy.

I'd like to help and share what I know about sick and vacation time in QuickBooks Desktop.

You can enter the hours available that your employees can use for their sick and vacation time in their payroll information.

Like this:

1. Go to Employees menu, then Employee Center.
2. Choose the employee name.
3. Select Payroll Info tab, then Sick/Vacation.
4. Enter the number of hours that are currently available for the employee in the Hours available as of mm/dd/yyyy field. Note: This is the total amount of hours available as of the date you add sick or vacation to the employee profile.
5. Complete the other fields based on your company's time off policy. If you do not allow hours to roll over to the next year, select “Reset hours each new year?”.
6. To specify accrual information for vacation hours, repeat steps 4 to 5 for the Vacation section of the window.
7. Select OK to record your changes.

Once you've added the available hours, your payroll manager can now review it on the paycheck detail window. It will also be shown on your employees paystub once you've submitted the payroll.

I'm adding this article to guide you in setting up the payroll items for vacation or sick pay in QuickBooks Desktop: Set up and track time off in payroll.

Let me know if you still have other questions about sick time. I'll be here to help. Have a good one.
