Set Up Employee Vacation- and Sick-Time Defaults

Related topics

To quickly set up vacation-time defaults, sick-time defaults, or both for your company, use the Payroll Setup wizard. If you have employees with non-standard vacation or sick information, you can make adjustments for those individual employees in Maintain Employees. Click here for more information.

From the Maintain menu, select Default Information and choose Payroll Settings.
On the left side of the menu, click Benefits to open the menu. Then select Vacation or Sick Time.
Select the standard vacation options that your company plans to offer.

Employees are given: This is the standard number of hours your company gives--or, what most people get. For example, 40 hours equals one week of vacation.

You can make adjustments for individual employees, if necessary, on the Maintain Employees screen.

Employees receive these hours: Check the standard method for determining when vacation hours start to accrue. Again, this is the standard or default method.

Does the remaining time carry over... Check Yes if you allow vacation hours to carry over to the next year, or No if they must be used or lost. If you enter Yes, then enter any maximum number of vacation hours an employee can have at any one time.

Click Next to select the standard sick time options that your company offers. They are set up just like vacation hours.
Click Next to continue setting up standard information in the wizard.
