  5. Under Select Policy Type, click Continue that corresponds with the Sick Policy Type 
  6. Under Policy Name, input the title of the Policy (i.e. BC Sick Pay - 5 Days)
  7. Under Accrual Method, click the checkbox that corresponds with % of Hours
  8. Under Accrual Rate, input 0
  9. Under Accrual Presets, click the checkbox that corresponds with All Presets (this will not matter as the Accrual Rate is set to 0%)
  10. Under Ignore Unpaid Hours, click the checkbox that corresponds with No
  11. Under Max Annual Accrual, input 40 (This may differ depending on what is inputted under Scheduler Settings: Time Off - Hours per Full Day [8 hours, 40 hours total; for 5 sick days])

  13. Under Max Carry Forward, input 0
  14. Under Negative Balance, click the checkbox that corresponds with No
  15. Under Starting Balance, click the checkbox that corresponds with Yes

  16. Under Starting Balance, input 40 (This may differ depending on what is inputted under Scheduler Settings: Time Off - Hours per Full Day. This should match what was inputted under step 11 [This amount is what gives employees the 5 paid sick days, but the amount won't impact how the system will calculate an average day's pay])

  18. Under Length Of Waiting Period, input 90 (this is based on BC's regulations; for more details, please reference the Government website)

  20. Under Payouts, click the checkbox that corresponds with No (this is based on BC's regulations; for more details, please reference the Government website)
  21. Under Policy Units, click the checkbox that corresponds with Days (this should always be set to Days as the system will be calculating an average day's pay and hours that an employee is requesting are not relevant based on BC's regulations)
  22. Under Reset Frequency, click the checkbox that corresponds with January 1 Of Every Calendar Year(this is based on BC's laws; for more details, please reference the Government website)
  23. Once done, click Save & Continue

Additional Information

Please ensure that a member of the Push Team has set up the BC Sick Pay auto-calculation in your account before completing the steps above. 

If you are unsure, please contact the Push Support Team at support@pushoperations.com to best assist with reviewing your account. 

If the feature has not been set up accordingly, the system will not calculate an average day's pay for the employees whose time off requests have been approved. 

Once the Policy has been set up, you may run an empty Off Run to frontload the balance for your employees to have access right away. Or you can wait until you process your next pyaorll for the balances to be available to your employees. 

Once a time off request is approved, the system will create an automatic Earning and Deduction entry that will calculate an average day's pay and automatically adjust the balance to track the days taken.

Please note that only Super Administrators have access to make changes to Leave Management.
