Question regarding vacation accrual by paycheck

Thanks for your time in posting your payroll concerns in the Community, @BSLF. Vacation accrual depends on the accrual policy you've set. 

I've got you the steps to edit your policy so it won't accrue when you create a bonus check for your employees. Here's how: 

1. Go to the Edit menu, then Preferences.
2. Select Payroll & Employees, then go to the Company Preferences tab.
3. Select Sick and Vacation.
4. Enter the defaults you want to set up. 
5. Make sure to check the Do not accrue boxes at the bottom if you don't want time accrued when paying sick/vacation/overtime.

You can also check out this article for more insights: Set up and track time off in payroll. 

I've also added this link for your future use in case you'll need some easy steps to fix sick and vacation time incorrect or not accruing on paychecks.

Get back to me here if you need more help or if you have other QuickBooks concerns. Take care!

Thank you!  This makes perfect sense.

Thank you.  Just to make sure I understand your answer properly, when I pay a one time bonus check, I should check the "do not accrue" box, then after I create the bonus check, I can uncheck the "do not accrue" box to continue accruing vacation/sick leave.  I have set up our vacation/sick accrual to be done each paycheck (not annually, or by the hour worked).

Thank you.  Just to verify I understand your response correctly, when I pay a one-time bonus check, I should check the "do not accrue" box, then after I create and print the bonus check, I should uncheck the "do not accrue" box to continue accruing vacation and sick time.  I accrue vacation/sick time by pay period (not annually or by the hour worked).

Thank you very much for your prompt and detailed reply.  This makes perfect sense.  I appreciate your help!
