Question

YTD Sick Vac Accrual on Paystubs is incorrect

We upgraded to QB Enterprise 2019 in July last year.  I noticed that the YTD sick/vaca accruals were incorrect on the employee paystubs, but thought it was because of the mid year upgrade.  It is now February and it is clear that was not the problem.  The Current accrued, used and available are correct, and the YTD used is correct, however the YTD Sick accrued seems to only show the last two weeks, and the YTD vacation accrued shows nothing.

I can share with you to possible reasons why the YTD sick/vacation is incorrect, acracut.

 

It can be that the employee setup was incorrect, or the Do not accrue sick/vacation pay box is checked.

 

Let's try to review the setup to that specific employee to check if there's something that we need to correct. I'm here to guide you where to do it:

 

  1. From the main menu, click Employees and select Employee Center.
  2. Double-click the name of the employee in the Employees section.
  3. Tap Payroll Info on the left side and select the Sick/Vacation tab at the upper-right corner.
  4. Now, let's check each field to see if there's something that we need to modify to correct the accruals.

 

 

I would like to share with you this article: Sick and vacation time incorrect or not accruing on paychecks. You'll learn more details about this.

 

Please tag me directly if you have other concerns. I'll help and assist you as soon as I can.

I am having the same problem after I upgraded my Quickbooks software from 2017 to 2020.  YTD Sick time is a large number.   The columns on the paystub used to be Earned, YTD Used, and Available all on one line for each item - sick or vacation time.   Now the columns are Accrued, Used, and Available. Sick and vacation time are displaying on two lines each.

Hello there, @Donna WRA.

 

You'll have to adjust the employee's sick time to correct the large number you see in the paystub. Let me walk you through the steps.

 

  1. In your QuickBooks Desktop, go to the Employees menu and select Employee Center.
  2. Choose the employee from the list, then click the pencil icon to edit.
  3. Go to the Payroll Info tab, then click the Sick/Vacation button.
  4. In the Sick section, enter the correct hours available from the field.
  5. Review the other information and click OK.

I'm adding this article for more information: Sick and vacation time.

 

Also, the format on the paystub is included in the update of the new version of QuickBooks Desktop. Thus, sick and vacation time changes the column for easy viewing of the customer, like you.

 

Just in case you want to report an employee's vacation and sick time used, available, accrued, and limits, feel free to visit this article: Employee's vacation and sick time.

 

Please keep in touch if there's anything else I can do to help you succeed with QuickBooks. I've got your back. Have a great day.
