Let me share some insights about sick time not deducting from the previous total, @peaktsinc.

 

The sick/vacation time may not accrue on your employees' paycheck or not being taken from the previous total if:

 

  • You have incorrect payroll items.
  • The sick/vacation setup of the employee is incorrect.
  • The Do not accrue sick/vacation pay box is checked
  • Your employee has reached the maximum number of hours.

To fix the problem, you may need to:

 

  • Determine how you set up the payroll item
  • Check the employee profile
  • Clear the "Do not accrue sick/vacation" checkbox

For the detailed instructions for each step, check out this article: Sick and vacation time incorrect or not accruing on paychecks.

The issue is not with accrue of sick time, it working fine.  The issue is when sick time is taken, it does not subtract from the available sick time.

Then, follow the steps below to perform the Verify and Rebuild Data:

 

To Verify, here's how:

  1. Go to Window > Close All.
  2. Select File > Utilities > Verify Data.

If you encounter any error message, proceed to Rebuild the data here:

 

  1. Go back to File > Utilities > Rebuild Data.
  2. You'll be prompted with a warning message to backup your company file, press OK. Backing up your company file is important to ensure you have a secured copy of your company file before any changes are made to it.
  3. Choose where you want to save your backup, and then click OK at the bottom of the QuickBooks Desktop Backup window.The Rebuild Data utility starts as soon as the backup is finished.

I'm having the opposite problem.  Sick time is being deducted when it should NOT be.  I've tried to see the "wage" and the "sick/vacation/regular/OT" section of an established payroll item,, but it doesn't show!  How can I find it to correct it?
