Join nowEmployee went from .9 time to fulltime, 1.0. Vacation time accrual per pay period did not change, why did the vacation accrual amount jump to a much higher amount? How can I fix?
Hello there, heazim1,
I can clear things out for you about the vacation time accrual.
QuickBooks will divide the salary rate accordingly once the correct number of hours are entered. Hence, it increases the accrual since the rate went up as well.
You'll want to check the employee's profile and modify the sick or vacation time settings including the balance. Then, create a dummy paycheck to check to test the new changes.
If it's now accruing the correct amount, delete the dummy check. Then, you can delete the actual paycheck that has the incorrect accrual.
Once done, don't forget to update the tax table every time you pay employees. These updates provide the most current and accurate rates and calculations for supported state and federal tax tables, payroll tax forms and e-file and pay options.
After that, recreate the paycheck to show the exact vacation time accrued.

Thank you! I'm going to just adjust the vacation time back and see if it is corrected in future paychecks.

Thank you. It was my understanding that once a payroll check is printed, it can not be deleted. Is this incorrect? Or for a "dummy pay check" do you just create the paychecks, not print them, then go to banking and delete them?
