When will Quickbooks implement the 2022 CA COVID Supplemental Sick Pay?

Hello there, mcclapper.

For now, having the option to show the available balances for COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave on pay stubs is unavailable in QuickBooks Desktop. 

You'll need to set up a CA Covid addition pay item to ensure you're paying your employees correctly according to the CA COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave.

For more details you can check out this article on how to set up the CA sick leave: Pay employees under the California COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave

Please read these articles for more information: 

• Set up and pay sick and vacation time
• Sick Pay Maximums

Just tag my name in case you have other concerns. Thank you and stay safe!

This is not for the FFCRA, this is for the 2022 CA SPSL which is something different and specific to California from 1/1/2022-9/30/2022. The link you showed me for FFCRA also states to not use it for payroll anymore as it's been expired. 

Welcome back, mcclapper.

I'll share additional information in handling the newly implemented CA COVID Supplemental Sick Pay for employees affected by COVID 19.

Under the bill signed by CA Governor, employers with more than 25 employees are required to provide up to 80 hours of COVID-19 supplemental paid sick leave to their employees. The employees are eligible if they're unable to work or telework due to any of the following reasons:

• Caring for Yourself
• Caring for a Family Member
• Vaccine-Related

Currently, the program won't track or stop at the allowed 80 hours limit. Instead, you'll have to manually track and provide information to your employees about their available and used hours. You can set up an additional pay item to guarantee that you're paying your employees correctly following the CA COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave.

Feel free to follow the steps provided in this article on how to set up the new additional pay and how to add it to the paycheck: Pay employees under the California COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave

In addition, I've included this resource so you'll learn when and how to fix an employee paycheck for future reference: Delete or void employee paychecks.
