Vacation & Sick policies

At what point does the system enter the preset hours for vacation & sick hours?  After the last payroll for 2018?  When the first payroll runs for 2019?

Vacation & Sick policies

Thanks for posting your concern here in the Community, @DW6.

 

That's a good question! I'm here to provide some information about the Vacation and Sick Pay Policy in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

If your employee has vacation and sick time balance, it'll automatically carry over into the next calendar year. This will continue to accrue until he/she reached his/her maximum hours. QBO doesn't have the option to automatically preset the hours.

 

On the other hand, if you have a "use it or lose it" policy, you'll need to manually change the employee's balance at the beginning of each calendar year. The steps to do this may depend on the type of payroll subscription you're using.

 

For QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP), here's how:

 

1. Go to Workers menu at the left panel, then pick Employees.
2. Select the name of the employee.
3. On the Employee Details, click the Pencil icon beside Pay.
4. In the How much do you pay section, select the Pencil icon.
5. Enter the employee's new current balance.
6. Click OK.

 

For Intuit Online Payroll (IOP):

 

1. Go to Employees tab, then select the name of the employee.
2. In Vacation & sick pay section, pick Edit.
3. Enter the employee's new current balance.
4. Click OK.

 

For your reference, you may check out this helpful article for further guidance: Set up sick or vacation pay in Online Payroll.

 

That should answer your concern for today. Please know that I'm only a post away if you have additional questions. I'll be here to help. Have a great rest of the week.

Our vacation time starts in the employees anniversary date rather than calendar year. 

 

Is there a way to do that in QB??

 

Thanks in advance!

How do you set it to renew vacation on an anniversary date rather than calendar year?
