Welcome to our QuickBooks family, mvogelaar-jettoo. I can walk you through adding the bereavement pay code option in QuickBooks Time.

 

Since you have already set up the code in QB Payroll, you can follow the steps below to add a new time off code in the Time version: 

 

  1. Go to Feature Add-ons, then Time Off Codes.
  2. Select Add New.
  3. Input the bereavement name of the Time Off code and determine if it is a Paid or Unpaid code.
  4. Tap Assign to Individuals or Groups to assign the code to team members. Make your preferences and hit Save.

 

Please note that after you save the Time Off code, you won't be able to change its type. For instance, a paid code can't be edited to become an unpaid code. Additionally, any new team members will automatically be assigned to the code and accrual rules if you assign the code to all team members.

 

Here's an article about handling these codes: Set up and Manage Time Off in QuickBooks Time.

 

Bookmark this guide to learn how to grant or deny time off requests in the future: Approve and manage time off entries for team members for QuickBooks Time.

So you enter a "PAY TYPE"  in QB online payroll but it become a TIME OFF code in Time Tsheets?

How can bereavement be a paytype in payroll but need a time off code in TIME?

Thanks

Hi there, LDO. This isn't an expected behavior to have Pay type in Payroll and becomes Time off code in QuickBooks Time. Pay types in QBO Payroll should sync as pay types in QuickBooks Time.

 

With that, it would not be possible to set up Bereavement as a pay type, but rather as a time-off policy in QBO Payroll, which syncs to QuickBooks Time as a time-off code. Configure Bereavement as a time-off policy under employee settings, with a pay rate attached.

 

So employees can request/track bereavement hours, which are then exported back to Payroll and paid out at the assigned rate.
