To pay vacation and sick pay (no timesheets)

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)

Click Process Payroll in the Payroll Command Center.

Complete step 1 of Process Payroll.

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.

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.

Change the employee's regular hourly wage hours or amounts.

Hourly employees. Reduce the number of hours allocated to Base Hourly by the number of hours allocated to the Sick Pay and Vacation Pay payroll categories.

For example, Mary Jones works 40 hours a week and is paid on an hourly basis. If she takes one day of vacation leave and half a day of sick leave, allocate 8 hours to Vacation Pay, 4 hours to Sick Pay and 28 hours to Base Hourly.

Salaried employees. Reduce the amount allocated to Base Salary by the values displayed in the Amount column for the Sick Pay and Vacation Pay payroll categories.

For example, Alan Long is paid a gross amount of $1,000 per 40 hour week. If he takes one day of vacation leave and half a day of sick leave, then allocate 8 hours to Vacation Pay and 4 hours to Sick Pay. The combined amount displayed in the Amount column for the Vacation Pay and Sick Pay payroll categories equals $300. Therefore, the value you need to enter in the Amount column for Base Salary is $700 (that is, $1,000 less $300).

Note: Changes made in the Pay Employee window do not update the Timesheet
