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