Payroll

Is there a way to pay employees some Holiday pay on a regular paycheck with other non-Holiday pay and not have PTO accrue on the Holiday pay? Is there some set up for "Holiday" pay that I am missing.

If the Holiday pay is all that is on the paycheck, I can mark "do not accrue" but I want one paycheck for the two weeks including that one Holiday.

Welcome to the Community, @WandaJW,

Let me provide you with some insights about Paid Time Off. Marking the PTO as unaccrued in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Payroll will affect your whole payroll earnings. It may also result in incorrect data when filing tax forms.

To ensure that it won't affect your earnings, I suggest separating unaccrued holiday pay and regular paychecks to avoid inaccurate data. 

You may also want to learn how to monitor the status of your payroll tax forms and payments submitted through QBDT Payroll: Check e-file or e-pay status.

No, not automatically - when calculating PTO based on hours worked and using an hourly or salary earnings item.

 

What is your "holiday pay"?  Is it, for example, like overtime - a supplemental amount based on the hours worked on a holiday? Or, is it more like a bonus, independent of hours worked? Depending, there are different ways to work around an 'extra' accrual of PTO.
