Accruing sick leave hours for salary or commission employee's.

Yes.  Can you suggest how I can do that?  I currently pay commission, which is entered under quantity.   Thank you for your help.

Thank you for the quick response, @rollanda.

Currently, tracking sick leave hours for commission employees isn't available. In the meantime, you can temporarily keep track of these accruals in an Excel file and save it on your computer. 

 I can see how this additional options and functionality would be helpful for both you and your business. I encourage you to submit these requests and suggestions directly to our Product Development Team for consideration in future updates.

You can submit this from within your QuickBooks by selecting the Help menu then select Send Feedback Online or by going to the following link: QuickBooks Online Feature Requests. Please know that I'm going to submit feedback from my side as well.

Feel free to leave a comment down below if you have any follow up questions. I'll get back to you right away.

BRC, could you describe in detail how you are able to accrue PTO for commissioned employees? Quickbooks is adamant that they cannot do it and I can't figure out how either. Thank you!

Thanks for joining in this thread, Clinician.

I'm here to help you go over to your employee's set up to accrue the PTO for commissioned employee via QuickBooks Desktop.

As referenced by our Community Backer BRC above, it works the same with as an hourly or salaried employee. To accrue the PTO credits for the commissioned employee, you'll need to choose the Every hour on a paycheck for the Accrual Period.

To create a paycheck for the commissioned employee:

1. On the employee's paycheck, enter the Hours with a zero rate.
2. Enter the Commission Rate.
3. Enter a Quantity amount.
4. You'll see the PTO credits accrued.

You can get more details in this article: https://community.intuit.com/articles/1763467-set-up-and-pay-sick-and-vacation-time.

Should you need more help in accruing PTO for the commissioned employee, please let me know. I'm always here to help you out.

My sick time accumulate is supposed to stop at 48 but it has NOT stopped to this date.  I have everything set up correctly based on other posts.  This is very frustrating as I have to go in an manually lower the accumulated time to 48.

Hello, @jayjay3.

Let's make sure that you've set up a maximum number of hours for the year in your QuickBooks preferences and employee's payroll details. By doing this, you'd received a prompt to tell you that the sick p

How the bloody heck do I get past the part about "subject to CARES Co. Soc. Sec. Deferral and the other CARES question as well as the National Paid Leave Credit".  They do not want to defer anything!!

Hello, jayjay3. 

I'm more than happy to help you figure out what steps you need to take to past the questions you're stuck on. In order to bypass the CARES Co. Soc. Sec. Deferral portion, If you previously set up any paid leave items under the FFCRA before 4/23/2020, you will need to make sure you're not set to pay the Employer Portion of Social Security for your new FFCRA payroll items. Also make sure you are paying only the employee portion of Social Security. 

Note: If you're using QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Assisted, you'll need to contact our support team to be able to mark the default buttons. 

1. Select Employee at the top of the menu
2. Scroll down to Manage payroll items, Edit/view payroll items then select one of the National Paid Leave items you set up.
3. Select Next, until you come to the taxability screen, the select default button. This will set your taxability to un-mark Employer Social Security.
4. Repeat for all National Paid Leave additions you set up.

From here, you should be good to go. 

Refer to this article here for more information regarding the FFCRA and the CARES Act. 

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to bring them to our attention down below. 

Thank you and have a nice afternoon. 

Now it created error is active and nonactive compensation items so am setting them to standard setting as would not complete the bloody THING.

Hey there, jayjay3.
 

I'd love to help you with the error you're bumping into. What's the exact message that's being displayed for you when you see it? I reviewed our article on how to track paid leave which my colleague Nick_M provided in his response and don't see any mention of active or nonactive compensation items in our walkthrough.
 

If you're experiencing the error while trying to set up payroll items (step 3 in the article I mentioned previously), I'd recommend trying to follow along with exactly what our resource says. Following step by step will ensure that the records are entered properly in your books.
 

You can reach out to me here if you have any questions. Enjoy the rest of your day!

The system is still not stopping at 48 hours.  Also when I ran the check up, it will not let me NOT chose the three CARES items so there is an “!” in each employee.  This is total nonsense.

Thanks for updating the Community on the situation, jayjay3.
 

You'll want to make sure that you've set your payroll up correctly with the steps provided by my colleague IamjuViel. Sick time accumulation will only stop at a certain hour mark if you've set a maximum number of hours for the year in your preferences.
 

If you're experiencing errors while running a checkup on your payroll, you can correct them by accessing the Data Review window after finishing the process. In this area, Intuit provides an explanation of what caused the problem and instructions on how to fix each one. Here's how it's done:
1. After completing your payroll checkup, run a Data Review.2. A Review your payroll data window will appear with an option to generate a report that can be used as a reference when making changes to correct wages and tax discrepancies. I recommend selecting Yes to create this report. It will be helpful to have.
3. If the report displays any problems, print the Payroll Item Discrepancies document.4. You'll be asked to allow the creation of wage base discrepancy adjustments, choose No.
5. Hit Continue.
6. Use your Payroll Detail Review Report to locate tax discrepancies.
7. Perform manual adjustments accordingly to correct wage or tax discrepancies.
 

After making all of the necessary changes, you'll be able to run a check up without encountering any errors with items.
 

Here's an article which will guide you through how to preform manual liability adjustments for payroll records: Entering wage base & tax adjustment to correct employee's quarter (QTD) or year to date (YTD) total
