Question

State of CT mandated sick time and QB payroll will not accommedate it.

Hello, The state of CT has a new sick pay rule that starts Jan 1, 2025.

Employees must earn sick time|PTO using the accrual method, which gives 1 hour of sick time/PTO for each 30 hours worked.

I need the QB system to allow me to set up this 1 hour for 30 hours worked and to stop accruing after an employee reaches the 30-hour mark each week.

Quickbooks Enterprise payroll does not allow the system to be set up accordingly.  How should I proceed? 

 

Any help out there?  Do we know if QB will make an update to accommodate the new law?

Thanks for getting in touch with the Community, Jallyn.

 

You can set up time off pay policies for sick pay and other paid or unpaid time off from your Payroll Item List.

 

Here's how:
 

  1. In the top menu bar, go to Lists, then Payroll Item List.
  2. Use your Payroll Item ▼ drop-down list and choose new.
  3. Click Custom Setup, then Next.
  4. Hit Wage and press Next.
  5. Pick Annual Salary or Hourly Wages, then Next.
  6. Choose Sick or Vacation Pay and click Next.
  7. Enter a name for the item, then hit Next. If you use time off, you can rename this item to "TO".
  8. Specify an expense account you want for your item.
  9. Select Finish.

 

After creating the time off policy, you can add it to your employee's profile. You're also able to change the time off pay policy settings and balance.

 

If there's a particular time off policy you're unable to set up currently in QuickBooks, I'd recommend submitting a feature request to our Product Development team. Your feedback's definitely valuable to Intuit and will be considered in future updates. You can stay up-to-date with the latest news about your product by reviewing our Product Updates webpage.
