 Hello Mikemorgansons, thanks for posting on the Community page, in order to help with your question which payroll is it you are using is it advanced payroll or standard payroll?

I am using standard payroll.

Thanks for getting back to the thread, Mike.

The option to add advance or future leave requests is only available in the QuickBooks Online Advance Payroll subscription. Since you're using Standard Payroll, the option to add advance leave is unavailable. 

At the moment, the leave options that can be set up using Standard Payroll are Statutory Sick Pay, Statutory Paternity Pay, and Unpaid leave. For detailed instructions, you can refer to the Leave and statutory payments section of this article: Standard Payroll hub | QuickBooks Online.

If you want to create future leave requests, I'd suggest upgrading your payroll subscription.

For additional reference about adding leave, please see these articles:

• Add, edit, or delete Statutory Sick Pay (SSP)
• Add, edit, or delete Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP)
• Add, edit, or delete Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP)
• Add unpaid leave

If you have any additional questions regarding adding leave requests, feel free to ask in this thread. We are here to assist you.

Sorry, I have jut checked, I am on advanced payroll, which is how I must have been able to do it last year.

Hello Mikemorgansons, if you have a look at this help article it has all the steps for advanced payroll to do with leave.
