Tiered paid time off schedule

My client wants her employees to receive PTO on the following schedule:

0-1 Year of employment - 5 paid days off

2-4 Years of employment - 10 paid days off

5 + Years of employment - 15 paid days off

 

Is this possible to set up in QBO Premium payroll?

Tiered paid time off schedule

@Tiffiny Taylor Krugh  your tiered schedule actually calls for 40 hours at hire date, and 40 additional at anniversary date. I do not believe you can create z rule that will change it to 80 once an employee has worked 2 years. You would have to change it anytime after the 1 year 40 hours posts. And then again after the 4th year 80 hours posts.

Yes, it's possible, Tiffiny Taylor Krugh.

 

Setting up your own time off paid time off policy is an easy-peasy steps in QuickBooks Online. Let me guide you how:

 

Just a heads up, you'll have to manually calculate the conversion of five days (for example) into hours.

 

  1. From the Payroll tab, select Employees.
  2. Select your employee's name.
  3. Under Employee details, click the edit (pencil) icon on Pay.
  4. On the How much do you pay (employee's name)? section, click the + Add additional pay types (like overtime and sick pay) hyperlink.
  5. Go to the Time off pay policies section.
  6. On the Paid time off field, select Add new paid time off policy.
  7. Select when will be the Hours are accrued.
  8. Enter the Hours per year.
  9. Enter a Maximum allowed time off.
  10. Click Save and then Save.

 

If your client uses QuickBooks Time, they can as well  set up your time off policies there to match what they set up in their payroll account.

 

I've also added this reference that has detailed information when paying employees: 

 

That should do it, Tiffiny Taylor Krugh. You can always count on me if ever you or your client need extra help with QuickBooks. Have a good one!

That you Adrian_A.

 

Follow up.  According to your suggestion:

Select when will be the Hours are accrued. - "On Anniversary Date"
Enter the Hours per year. - "40"
Enter a Maximum allowed time off. - "120"

 

Would that not translate to an employee being granted 40 paid PTO hours per year regardless of how many years they have worked for the company?

 

I was hoping for this type of schedule:

0-1 Year of employment - 40 paid hours

2-4 Years of employment - 80 paid hours

5 + Years of employment - 120 paid hours
