National Paid Leave

I have walked through the steps to create a payroll item for the National Paid Leave for Coronavirus Quarantine. However, whenever I go to pull that item into an actual payroll check, it is not listed. It is listed in the overall Payroll items list, but not listed when I try to create a paycheck using that as the "item".  Can anyone help me figure this out? I assume I need to use that as the payroll item on the paycheck in order for the correct credit to be issued on the 941.

I'm here to provide additional steps to include the National Paid Leave for Coronavirus Quarantine item on the paycheck, charlamarla.

 

You're on the right track. All you need to do is add the payroll item when you run a payroll. Let me show you how:

 

  1. Go to Employees, then Pay Employees.
  2. Run a paycheck for the employee you want to pay.
  3. In the Enter Payroll Information window, click Open Paycheck Detail to make modifications to the paycheck.
  4. In the Earnings window, remove all existing items.
  5. In Other Payroll Items, add the payroll item you set up is applicable to your employee’s situation. 
  6. Next to each used:
    • National Paid Leave Employee/National Paid Leave Family: Add the employees’ hourly rate and quantity of hours for the pay period. If your employee is salaried, you must determine their hourly rate.
    • National Paid Leave FMLA: If applicable, add the appropriate amount, review the guidelines at the top of this article.
    • National Paid Leave - Health Premium: Add the National Paid Leave - Health Premium using the same amount as your normal company paid health insurance premium unless it was prorated. Leave your Health Insurance company contribution item as you will still need it to track the amount to pay to your insurance company.
    • National Paid Leave & Medicare Credit: Add the same amount you see under Company Summary next to Medicare Company.
  7. Select Save & Next to repeat for all employees then select Save & Close.
  8. When the checks are ready to be created, click Continue.
  9. Select Create Paychecks.

Hi, charlamarla. Can you describe the step you were missing? I think we are having the same problem you described in your request, but can't figure out what that missing step might be. We feel like we've performed all the steps described by Intuit help. Thanks.
