hi this is jason from the quickbooks
[2]
team
[3]
with quickbooks desktop payroll you can
[5]
track your employees paid time off on
[7]
reports and your employees can track it
[9]
on their pay stubs in quickbooks
[11]
workforce
[12]
let's learn how to set up and use paid
[14]
time off in quickbooks and then take a
[17]
look at how employees can track their
[19]
paid time off in quickbooks workforce
[21]
first select employees
[24]
anytime you set up a new employee you
[26]
can set up their vacation and sick time
[28]
individually but to save time
[30]
it's better to set up a default paid
[32]
time-off policy and then customize it
[34]
for each employee as you set them up
[36]
let's do that first
[38]
select edit
[39]
preferences
[41]
then select payroll in employees and
[44]
switch to company preferences
[46]
select the second vacation button
[49]
then enter your standard paid time off
[51]
policy here
[52]
this will be the default for any new
[54]
employee and you can customize it for an
[56]
employee as you set them up later
[59]
quickbooks divides paid time off into
[61]
two sections sick and vacation they both
[65]
work the same way and you don't have to
[67]
use both of them so if your business
[69]
keeps track of sick and vacation time
[71]
separately
[72]
fill out both sections but if your
[74]
business tracks vacation and sick leave
[76]
together as paid time off skip the sick
[79]
time and just fill out vacation
[82]
next you choose how employees accrue
[84]
more sick in vacation hours
[86]
if you select every hour on paycheck
[88]
you'll enter the hours accrued per hour
[90]
paid
[91]
if you select every paycheck they'll
[94]
receive a flat amount of hours each
[96]
paycheck
[97]
and last you use beginning of year if
[100]
the employee accrues a set amount of
[102]
time on a yearly basis
[104]
note that the beginning of a year
[106]
doesn't have to be january 1st you can
[108]
choose any date as the beginning of the
[110]
year such as the anniversary date of
[112]
their hire you choose the beginning of
[115]
your date whenever you set up a new
[117]
employee or edit an existing one if your
[120]
business limits the maximum amount of
[122]
accrued hours select an option here
[125]
you enter the actual number of maximum
[128]
hours whenever you set up an employee
[131]
also if your employees accrued time off
[133]
resets each year check this box
[136]
remember that you can select when the
[138]
year begins for each employee as you set
[141]
them up if you do reset hours each year
[144]
you can still choose to carry over some
[146]
hours from the previous year enter the
[148]
number of hours that carry over year to
[150]
year or leave it blank if no hours carry
[153]
over fill out the other section of the
[155]
window if you offer both sick and
[158]
vacation time
[159]
or leave it empty if you only offer one
[162]
type of paid time off
[164]
last you set your company's policy for
[167]
whether or not employees accrue sick and
[169]
vacation time for paid time off and
[172]
overtime
[173]
select ok and ok again
[177]
now whenever you set up a new employee
[179]
select the payroll info tab
[181]
and then sick vacation quickbooks fills
[185]

[186]
employee
[187]
but there are still some details for you
[190]
to fill in for this specific employee
[192]
enter the number of hours the employee
[194]
has available now
[196]
then enter the number of hours they've
[198]
used so far this year
[200]

[202]
more hours unless you need to adjust it
[204]
from your default
[206]
select when the year begins for the
[208]
employee
[209]
and when you want them to start accruing
[211]
sick or vacation time
[213]

[215]
