I have an employee on an unpaid leave of absence.

Other than not issuing them a paycheck every week and marking them on a leave of absence, are there any other changes I need to make in QuickBooks for this employee?  I'm using QuickBooks Enterprise 16.

Hello Lisa,

I'd be happy to help. When you say "marking them on a leave of absence" are you referring to changing their status on the Employment Info window or just marking them on Leave in their names? If you mark them on the Employment Info window, there's no need for you to add any changes. Just make sure to enter the Actual Return Date of the employees so that QuickBooks will recognize that the employees are activated again.

Here's how:

  1. Go to Employees at the top menu bar.
  2. Select Employee Center.
  3. Double click your employee's name.
  4. Choose the Employment Info tab on the left pane.
  5. Click the Leave of Absence tab at the top.
  6. Enter the Actual Return Date (see attached screenshot).
  7. Click OK.

However, if you haven't changed their status inside QuickBooks, here's how to change this:

  1. Go to Employees at the top menu bar.
  2. Select Employee Center.
  3. Double click your employee's name.
  4. Choose the Employment Info tab on the left pane.
  5. Click the Leave of Absence tab at the top.
  6. Enter the Start Date, Expected Return Date, and Leave Paid
  7. Click OK.
If you’re doing this differently, please let me know.

IntuitVivien, Thank you, I've followed those steps in QuickBooks.  The employee's name is still showing up in the list of paychecks to issue when I click on 'Start Scheduled Payroll' in the Payroll Center.  Is this okay, or is there another setting I need to change?
