How to Pay COVID-19 Federal Paid Leave Hours in Patriot Software

On Payroll Step 1

当您运行工资表时，支付期结束日期和支付日期必须等于或大于4/1/2020。这些带薪休假时间截止到2021年9月30日。您的工资期结束日期必须在2021年9月30日或之前，否则您将看到一个警告，该工资不能使用COVID带薪休假时间。

The three COVID hour types will appear in the grid for each employee, both hourly and salary, as long as they are marked “frequently used.” If they are not frequently used, you can turn on the “Show All Pay Types” switch to see them.

Enter the number of federal paid leave hours to be paid to the employee for this pay period.

If you are paying either COVID 2/3 Sick or COVID Family Leave hours, we will automatically calculate the ⅔ rate of regular pay (or 67%) for both hourly and salaried employees.

On Payroll Step 2 and 3

When you have moved to Payroll Step 2, you will see a message showing the total tax credit that can be taken for this payroll. This message also shows on Payroll Step 3. If you are a Full Service Payroll customer, you will see the tax credit breakdown when you view the details on Step 2. For more details, see the help articleHow to Claim Payroll Tax Credit for COVID-19 Paid Leave.

Employees will still have their normal income tax withheld from these paid leave payments. However the payroll tax credits will reduce the amount you are required to deposit.

Paying Salary Employees COVID Paid Leave

When paying a salary employee with COVID hour types, their full salary will be reduced proportionately if you are using either the COVID ⅔ Sick or the COVID Family Leave hour type. The employee’s full normal salary will not be increased if you use COVID hours.

下面是一些给工薪员工发工资的例子。Jane是一名工薪员工，每周支付1000美元/周的工资。

Example 1: Partial regular salary, partial COVID 100 Sick leave

In this example, Jane worked 3 days and took 2 days of COVID 100 Sick leave.

Payroll Entry:

• Keep the “Pay” switch “On.”
• Enter 24 regular hours for the 3 worked days.
• Enter 16 COVID 100 Sick hours for the 2 sick days.
• Her gross wages would be $600 Regular + $400 COVID 100 Sick = $1000, which is her full regular pay rate.

Example 2: Partial regular salary, partial COVID ⅔ Sick Leave

在这个例子中，简工作了3天，并请了2天病假⅔。

Payroll Entry:

• Keep the “Pay” switch “On.”
• Enter 24 regular hours for the 3 worked days.
• 输入16 COVID⅔病假时间为2天。
• Her gross wages would be $600 Regular + $268 COVID ⅔ Sick = $868, prorating only the COVID hours.

Example 3: Full week of COVID ⅔ Family Leave

In this example, Jane took the entire week off for COVID Family Leave

Payroll Entry:

• Turn the “Pay” switch to “Off.”
• Enter 40 COVID Family Leave hours. Leave Regular hours blank.
• 她的总工资是670美元，是她1000美元周薪的⅔。

非加班费员工可以获得加班费。由于新冠肺炎工作时间是非工作时间，因此不会影响或计入员工的加班费。如果员工的工资是正常的全额工资，任何新冠工时将在工资之外支付，并将增加金额。
