Third-Party Sick Pay is disability payments from an insurance company your employee gets while out of work, sick, or injured. To process third-party sick pay, you must send your info to us so we can collect any necessary taxes and report on tax forms including your employee’s W-2. To learn more about sick pay see IRS Publication 15a.
Step 1: Verify the following info on the third-party report.
This info is required by the IRS for reporting purposes. If any of the info is missing from the third-party report or Explanation of Benefits (EOB), contact the third party to obtain it.

- Sick pay paid to the employee
- Federal income tax withheld
- Employee Social Security tax withheld
