Payroll

To pay vacation and sick pay

1. If you haven't already, create vacation and sick pay accrual payroll categories and vacation and sick pay wages payroll categories and assign them to the employee. (To create a wage and To create an accrual)



2. Click Process Payroll in the Payroll Command Center.



3. Complete step 1 of Process Payroll.



4. In step 2 of Process Payroll (Select & Edit Paychecks), click the zoom arrow next to the employee name who is to receive vacation or sick pay.



5. Enter the number of sick or vacation hours in the Hours column of the sick or vacation wages payroll category. The amount that appears in the Amount column will be calculated automatically.

When you record the transaction, the hours you entered for the wage will be subtracted from the number of hours the employee has accrued in the vacation or sick pay accrual payroll category linked to this wage.

6. If you're distributing wages for an accrual such as sick pay, you might also need to change the employee's regular hourly wage hours or amounts. For example, if your company's normal work week is 40 hours and an employee takes 8 hours of sick leave, you'll probably need to change the employee's Base Hourly hours from 40 to 32. If you do this, the employee will still be paid for a 40-hour work week.
