Employees and payroll
I'm glad to see you here, @MidStateshc.
To accrue the sick pay to your MO employee, you'll need to assign the payroll items you created to those workers. Here's how:
- Go to Employees and select Employee Center.
- Choose an MO employee.
- Pick Payroll Info, then click Sick/Vacation.
- Enter hours in the Hours available as of the mm/dd/yyyy field.
- Select the Accrual period and choose one of the options available.

- Type in the number of hours in the Hours Accrued field. You can also enter a Maximum number of hours that the employee can have.
- Fill in the necessary fields to ensure the accrual.
- Once done, click OK to record changes.
Concerning the accrued 1-hour sick time for every 30 hours worked in MO isn't possible at the moment since the available accrual period in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) is the Beginning of year, Every paycheck, and Every hour on paycheck.
I agree with @FishingForAnswers' suggestion to create a paycheck for each state and tick the Do not accrue sick/vacation box to the state the sick hours should not accrue. I also suggest submitting direct feedback to raise this feature request to our Product Development Team.
Let me know if you have additional questions by leaving a comment below.
