Payroll

To pay vacation and sick pay (using timesheets)

  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. Make a timesheet entry for each day in which vacation or sick pay is applied, using the vacation pay or sick pay wage category. (To make a timesheet entry)


  3. Click Process Payroll in the Payroll Command Center.


  4. Complete step 1 of Process Payroll.


For hourly employees:

  1. Complete the Process Payroll Assistant. (Using Process Payroll)


For salaried employees:

  1. 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.


  2. 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.


  3. Reduce the amount allocated to Base Salary by the values displayed in the Amount column for Sick Pay and Vacation Pay payroll categories so the pay total remains correct.

    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
