Quickbooks premier desktop 2021 - bereavement leave help needed

We have bereavement leave setup as a payroll compensation. But when we pay employees bereavement leave, it subtracts from their vacation. How should it be setup?

Quickbooks premier desktop 2021 - bereavement leave help needed

I can help you with that, Russellsthree.

 

Bereavement leave is set up as regular pay/wage in QuickBooks Desktop. This way, it won't subtract from the employees' accrued vacation hours once you pay them. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Lists, then choose  Payroll Item List.
  2. Click Payroll Item drop-down menu, then hit New.
  3. Select Custom Setup, then Next.
  4. Choose Wage, then Next.
  5. Select Hourly Wages, then Next.
  6. Tick the Regular Pay radio button, then Next.
  7. Enter "Bereavement Pay" in the Name field, then Next.
  8. Set the appropriate account for tracking this expense, then select Finish.
