Hi there,

Making sure your vacation balance is accurate is important for any business. I'd be glad to give you a hand with this.

QuickBooks is a great program for managing your vacation and payroll. In order to accomplish what you've described, you’ll have to enter the employees accrued hours when you create their paycheques.

If you have not setup the vacation pay. Here’s how:

2. Click on Payroll Settings.
3. Click the Vacation/Sick/PTO link below the Payroll and Services section.
4. In the Vacation and Sick Leave Policies box, click Create.
5. In the Category drop-down, select Vacation, enter a Description, select the Accrual Frequency, and then enter the Hours earned per year and the Maximum available hours.
6. Click OK.

Then run the payroll, paying the accrued vacation:
