Why is qb adding to my employee sick hours when they use their sick leave?

Let me help you with your payroll concern, davidsears71. 

Sick pay is added to the gross pay and the taxes will be deducted from that amount to get the net pay. To isolate this issue, we can open your employee's profile and make sure that the sick pay is properly set up. Here's how:

1. Select Payroll from the sidebar menu.
2. Go to the Employees.
3. Choose the appropriate employee.
4. Head to the How much do you pay [employee name]? section, then make sure that sick pay is correctly set up.

We can also review the paycheck to check if the sick pay was properly entered. In addition, you may need to delete and recreate the paycheck to correct the amounts if this is not a Direct Deposit transaction. I'll show you how:

1. Go to Payroll from the sidebar menu and select Employees.
2. Click the name of the appropriate employee name, then choose Paycheck list.
3. Tick the checkbox next to the pay date, then select the Delete button.
4. Choose Yes when you see the confirmation message.
5. Go back to the employee list and recreate the paycheck.
