I'll share some insights about how Vacation and Sick time works in QuickBooks, gsaenz.
I'll help you with this. We're unable to merge the sick and vacation column since they have different functions in the reports. Since you've mentioned that you're using PTO, we can rename the Vacation or Sick time option in the Payroll Printing Preferences. This way, it will show as "PTO" in the paycheck instead of "Vacation" or "Sick" when we print it. You can follow the steps that I've listed below:
- Select Edit from the top menu bar.
- Choose Preferences.
- Select Payroll & Employees.
- Click the My Preferences tab.
- Hit the Pay Stub & Voucher Printing.
- Rename the Print as Vacation or Print as Sick text box to "PTO".
