Illinois Paid Leave accrual

Welcome to the Community forum, LPLD. 

I appreciate you providing the details of your concern about setting up the pay type for 1 hour of paid leave per 40 hours worked accrual in QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP). I would be happy to guide you through the process.

If you are already tracking paid time off in QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP)you’ll need to review your current paid time off policy(s) to help ensure you meet the minimum requirement. Follow the steps to proceed with setting this up correctly:

1. Go to Payroll, then Employees and select your employee.
2. From Pay types, select Start or Edit.
3. Scroll down to the Time off policies section. Select Edit next to the policy to view the Hours per year box.
4. Review your policy to make sure it provides the employee with at least 40 hours of PTO, including sick and vacation, for 12 months. If your existing policy doesn't meet the minimum requirements, you can create a new one or update the Hours per year box for the existing one.
5. When finished, hit Save.

If you aren't tracking paid time off, you can still request time off for various reasons. However, it is essential to be aware of your company's policies and procedures regarding time off requests, as well as any legal requirements related to paid time off in your jurisdiction.
