Michigan Sick Pay - How do I set it up?

Question

I'm assuming I have to set up the new SICK PAY as a benefit in Sage 50, and that it WILL NOT be part of an update. 
 How do I set this up? Can anyone help me? 
 Employees of a small business shall accrue a minimum of one hour of earned sick time for every 30 hours worked but, shall not be entitled to use more than 40 hours of paid earned sick time in a calendar year. Accrual begins on Feb. 21, 2025, or upon commencement of the employee's employment, whichever is later.

I think this is the formula we need to enter, for Michigan employers. 
 Employees receive 1 hour for every 30 worked, and are entitled to accrue and use 72 hours of paid leave per calendar year. 
 You can copy & paste this formula into the USER MAINTAINED PAYROLL FORMULAS.

Select the SICK_ADD current year formula from the Formula ID list (for example, SICK_ADD 22) 
 Copy and paste the following formula to overwrite the existing one present based on the limit or no limit as it pertains to the plan. 
 
 L= 72 ; "Maximum hours accrued allowed for 1 year" 
 Y=YTD(SICK_Accrue)-SICK_Accrue; "YTD Hours Accrued" 
 R=L-Y; "Remaining Accrual" 
 C=(Regular+Overtime)*1/30; 
 A=If(C<R,C,R); "Accrual this check" 
 ANSWER=If(R<=0,0,A) 
 Note: Edit the line "L= XX " to include the max number of hours an employee can accrue, for example, L=72 would cause no more hours to accrue once the employee has accrued 72 YTD hours of sick time.
