Hello JVan1,

Thanks for posting in the Community. I'm here to help provide information on why the vacation time rate converts to .56 in QuickBooks Desktop.

The result when you enter the amount will depend on the time format set up under the Preferences window. You can either choose the Decimal or Minutes option when entering payroll information.

Here's how you can change the time format:

1. Click the Edit tab at the top menu bar.
2. Select Preferences.
3. Click General.
4. Go to the Company Preferences tab.
5. Below Time Format, choose Decimal.
6. Click OK.

You can also check the article below for additional reference about setting up time tracking preferences (scroll-down to OPTIONAL: To set up the time format):

Just in case you need visual preference, please check attached screenshots below.

I'm here anytime you need more help concerning the process. You can reach out to me by posting a response below.
