Hello @JodiL2.

I hope your week is going nicely. Thanks for checking in with the Community for help with setting up Statutory Holidays in QuickBooks Time. I’d be happy to walk you through how to get that done. Here’s how:

1. Go to Feature Add-ons > Time Off Codes. The Time Off Codes window displays.
2. Select Add New.
3. Enter the name of the Time Off code and choose whether it is a Paid or Unpaid code.
4. To assign the code to team members, select Assign to Individuals or Groups.
   • When aTime Off code is assigned to all team members, any new team members will be automatically assigned to that code and its associated accrual setup.
   • If a bank of hours is needed for a time off code, set up accruals.
5. Make your selections and select Save.

Keep in mind, only admins can set up and manage time off. Let me give you this article with some additional details too: Set up and Manage Time Off in QuickBooks Time

This is great information. I have a question to add on to this.  We use the hours scheduled vs worked feature to track for yearly bonuses.  Does adding time off in this way appear in the system as hours scheduled?

I'll add some insights about time off, @MishelWolfe.

Time off entries appears as schedule. However, it'll only appear in the schedule if the request is pending.

You can see the In Schedule section in this article for more details about this: Set up and Manage Time Off in QuickBooks Time.

Why after adding the holiday pay does the approval times of other days have minutes added to them. The approval times are different than the time entries

Hi, 

As per Employee Standards, the Stat Holiday hours are calculated in the Overtime rate for the week. As an example, if an employee works 40 hours, they receive overtime after that. If they work 32 hours, and have a 8 hour stat day, then this makes the 40 hrs. 

If they work 35 hrs, plus have an 8 hour stat, then they should be getting 3 hours overtime. 

When we Add the stat hrs through Time off (In Quickbooks Time) and upload it to Quickbooks Desktop enterprise, it is not calculating the stat as hours worked towards overtime. By law we need to do this, which ends up in massive amounts of adjustments and manual calculations on hours to ensure our employees are getting the correct overtime.

Have we set this Time off code wrong somewhere down the line? I should mention, when we add new employee to QB Time, we always have to map the Stat holiday. It will never automatically select the mapping. Not sure if the two are related, and maybe this is an issue stemming from QB Desktop Enterprise?

Please help us figure out where we are going wrong. 

Thank you

Sarah
