Hello, njc-assoc.
I appreciate you joining us here in the Community. QuickBooks Online provides the option to not track vacation if that's what you prefer. Here's how:
1. Head to the "Payroll" tab and select "Employees"
2. Click on the employee you do not want to track vacation for
3. Scroll down to the vacation section and click on "Edit"
4. Under "Vacation policy" click on the drop down arrow and choose "Don't track vacation in QuickBooks"
4. Hit save.
Note: You'll need to do this for reach employee.
If you have any other questions, feel free to reach back out here.
