BC paid sick days where do they go in payroll

Hi there pdcsidney.

It's vital that your employees be set up correctly so that they have the correct pay types available when running payroll. QuickBooks Online payroll is a great tool able to calculate sick pay for an employee. I can provide some information about adding sick pay.

In order to add sick pay for an employee, go to the Payroll tab, then the Employees section. Click on the name of the employee in question, then Edit the employee. Scroll down to the section named How much do you pay [Name of your employee]? then click on the pencil in that box next to additional pay types. Select the Sick pay drop-down menu, and then you can add sick pay with these specifications:

• The hours equivalent to five of their workdays
• Accrues at the start of the year

You can then add this to every one of your employees to make sure that they have the pay they need when they do take their first five sick days of the year.
