My vacation pay for employees at start the of year started with 160 not 80 it was set max of 80?

Good day, @fandsinvestment.

Thank you for sharing your concern here in QuickBooks Community.

The amount of hours you can set for your employee's vacation pay depends on the vacation time-off policy that you've selected. There is no max amount for it since you have the option to create a new one when you needed to.

If you want to set this up to 160hrs per year, simply follow these steps:

1. Go to the Payroll menu, then select Employees.
2. Click the employee’s name.
3. In the Pay section, select Edit ✎, then go to the How much do you pay [employee]? and click the Pencil icon to edit.
4. Select Vacation Pay and click its drop-down arrow.
5. Choose New Vacation pay and enter hours per year and Maximum allowed hours.
6. When you're done, click OK and select Done.

You can also check out this article for more details on how to set up and track time off, vacation, and sick pay for your employees.

Additionally, you can run several payroll reports to view useful information about your business and employees. You can review them in this list: Reports available in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

I'm just a reply away if you have other questions with the QuickBooks Online Payroll. Just add the details of your concerns in this thread and I'll help you out. More power to your business.

I had it set up already at 80 -why did it change with out me knowing?

I'm here to take care of your payroll concern, @fandsinvestment.

You can use the Audit Log to check who made the changes with your employee vacation pay set up. I can share the steps needed to make this task a breeze.

Here's how:

1. Click the Gear icon, and then choose Audit Log.
2. Select the Filter drop-down, and choose the All Users and the desired date.
3. Tick the Show only these events radio button under Events.
4. Select the Lists option. 
5. Choose All Transactions from the Show drop-down.
6. Click Apply.
7. You can click View in the History column to open the audit history. This way, you'll know who made the change and what they did.
   

If no one made some modifications, then this can be a browser-related issue. To rule out this possibility, you can use a private browser (incognito) when opening QuickBooks. This session disables the outdated cache in your browser that helps prevent unexpected QuickBooks Online behavior. 

I know some shortcut keys you can use to access one:

• Ctrl+ Shift + N for Google Chrome .
• Ctrl + Shift + P for Mozilla Firefox  and Microsoft Edge .
• Command + Shift + N for Safari .

After that, sign to QuickBooks and review the employee's vacation details again.

If you're now able to see the right information, you can clear your regular browser's cache. This process helps remove unwanted files so the system can start a clean slate.

If the issue persists, I recommend using another supported web engine or utilize the browser health checkup tool to see if your browser is compatible.

We also have extensive payroll reports you can run to keep track of your business finances seamlessly.

You can always get back to me if you need more payroll insights. I'd be glad to extend a helping hand anytime.
