On September 1, 2012, employees in the City of Seattle will begin to accrue paid sick and paid safe time (PSST) for use when an employee or family member needs to take time off from work due to illness or a critical safety issue. The ordinance applies to all employers with more than four full-time equivalent employees. All employees are eligible for the new benefit, including full time, part-time and temporary workers.

Tracking this new sick/vacation may be difficult for QuickBooks users who are already using the 2 available methods for tracking paid time off in QuickBooks. Adding another method to the tracking in QuickBooks is not possible, so employers who want to track the new PSST hours separately will have to get very creative, or find a solution outside of QuickBooks.
