Is there a way in Quickbooks Online to accrue PTO or vacation on all hours? Our policy is to accrue on all hours such as holiday, vacation, hours worked, etc.

Absolutely yes, @pjtramp. Allow me to assist you further so you can accrue vacation and Paid Time Off (PTO) on all hours in your QuickBooks (QBO) account.

 

To begin with, we'll have to go to the Payroll menu to select your employees. This way, we can add your desired accrued hours.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. On the left navigational panel, look for the Payroll tab.
  2. Select Employees to choose an employee.
  3. Scroll down to the Pay types, click Start or Edit.
  4. From there, you'll see the Time off pay policies section.
  5. Select Add new (paid time off) policy from the dropdown menu to add a policy for the Paid time off. It'll route you to enter the necessary details.
  6. Input the Description from there.
  7. From the Hours are accrued dropdown, select Per hour worked.
  8. Enter the necessary details for the Hours per year and the Maximum allowed.
  9. Once done, hit Save.

 

Moreover, the vacation at all hours will be the same thing that goes with the process. For more details about this, here's a resource you can rely on: Set up and track time off in payroll.

 

Furthermore, it's essential to note that you can accrue your per hour worked for PTO, vacation, and sick pay to these options.

 

Lastly, I'll be adding this article about setting up overtime for your employee that can be handy moving forward: Add overtime pay to an employee.

 

I'll always be around if you require additional assistance managing payroll in QBO. Let me know in the comments below. I'll provide the best help so you can keep your business going.

I need hours accrued on all hours and there is not a place for that.  Only hours worked.  On Quickbooks Desktop there were checkmarks you could put in front of what you wanted included for hours accrued.  Quickbooks Online doesn't do that and you are stuck with only hours worked.  I know others are in the same boat I am.  Too bad Quickbooks can't figure this out.

I have been on a call with "tech support" for 40 minutes now and I just found this post. Apparently, it is not possible to reflect PTO accruals as a liability on my balance sheet? Is QBO kidding? Are you really an accounting software?

The option to accrue vacation and Paid Time Off (PTO) on all hours is unavailable in QuickBooks Online (QBO),razwheat.

 

I can see how having this option would be beneficial to your business. For now, I suggest submitting a feature request to our product development team. Rest assured that they will review it and may consider this option for future updates, depending on the number of users' requests.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon at the top.

  3. Enter your comments or product suggestions.
  4. Then select Next to submit feedback.
