When I tried the gear icon, there was no option for Payroll Settings - Payroll schedules.

HELP!

Hi there Roxanne1946,

It's vital that all your employees be paid the right amount of hours. QuickBooks Online Payroll is a great tool able to help you calculate the pay for your employees based on the hours they've worked. I can point you in the right direction to edit an employee's vacation policy.

In order to edit the percentage of vacation for an employee, go to the Payroll tab, then the Employees section. Click on the name of the employee you want to edit, then scroll down to their Vacation Policy section to click on the Edit option for that box.
