Thanks for posting in the Community, @hillmull.
Let's go to the Sick and Vacation Defaults window to set up the program not to accrue vacation time when your employee takes PTO. I'll guide you how.
- Select Edit from the top menu and choose Preferences.
- From the left panel, click Payroll & Employees.
- Go to the Company Preferences tab.
- Select Sick and Vacation.
- Fill in the defaults you want to set up. Check the Sick and vacation hours paid or Overtime hours paid box at the bottom of the window.
- Click OK.
The screenshot below shows you the steps. For more information, check out this article: Setting Up and Tracking Time Off. Just go to the QuickBooks Desktop Payroll sections.
