Question

How does the "Unpaid Leave of Absence" status affect time-off accrual and holiday pay?

Please let me know what the Unpaid Leave of Absence status affects and how it affects them.

 

Specifically, does changing an employee status to "Unpaid Leave of Absence" stop time-off accrual, like sick and vacation? Also, does it not pay out holidays? If it does not stop these, then I imagine I need to turn off the sick and vacation pay accrual policies, in which case will this also zero out their current balance? I do not want to zero out their balance, I just want to temporarily halt the accrual of time off. And I would also need to uncheck the holiday pay box?

 

Thank you.

Hello, @skskinny! Thank you for reaching out to the QuickBooks Community.

 

I'm here to provide insights about the impact of the Unpaid leave of absence status on your employees' time-off accruals.

 

When you change an employee's status to Unpaid leave of absence, they will no longer be considered part of your payroll. As a result, the system will automatically stop accruing their time-off accruals, including holiday pay. Since you can't create paychecks for employees in this status, there is no need to uncheck any boxes related to time-off accruals.

 

For more information on changing an employee's status in QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll, you can refer to this article: Terminate or change your employee's status on payroll.

 

If you have any further questions about how an employee's status affects their time-off accruals, please let me know. I'll be happy to provide you with the answers you need.
