Good day, NLC2.
You can include the holiday pay with the Regular Salary or create it as a separate pay. If you have not yet added an item for the holiday pay, you can follow these steps:
- Go to Lists > Payroll Item List.
- Select the Payroll Item drop-down and click New.
- Choose Custom Setup, and click Next.
- Select Wage, and click Next.
- Choose Annual Salary, and select Next.
- Choose Regular Pay, and select Next.
- In the Name used in paychecks and payroll reports field, enter Holiday Pay, and click Next.
- The default account for the expense is Payroll Expenses.
- Click the Finish button.
Then, add the item to your employee's setup.
Here's how:
- Click Employees > Employee Center.
- Double-click the employee's name, and select the Payroll Info tab.
- In the Earnings section, add the Holiday Pay Item item.
- Click OK.
After adding the item, you can create a separate paycheck for the holiday pay or include it with the regular pay. For example, on a monthly payroll, enter 8 hours for the salary and 6 hours for holiday pay. QuickBooks Desktop automatically adjusts the pay for each item.
