Vacation time - Not accurured

I can help you in setting it up, Fishsticks9131.

You can turn on the Do not accrue options in your Payroll & Employees Preferences if you don't want time accrued when paying sick/vacation/overtime. I'll show you how:

1. Go to the Edit menu, then choose Preferences.
2. Select Payroll and Employees, then head to the Company Preferences tab.
3. Click the Sick and Vacation button.
4. Under the Set accrual limit section, select Maximum hours for the year.
5. From the Do not accrue employee and vacation hours for section, tick the Sick and vacation hours paid and Overtime hours paid checkboxes.
6. Click OK, then select OK again to save the changes.

Need to track your employee's vacation and sick time balance, vacation/sick time used, and maximum hours? You can create Sick and Vacation reports in QuickBooks Desktop.

Hello,

I have this setting where I don't want it to accrue for overtime or vacation hours. So for example, if employees earn 1 hour of PTO per hour worked, this employee should show 40 hours of available vacation. If they worked the next week for 50 hours, i.e. 10 of those hours were overtime, then it should still give only 40 hours of available vacation. Is this correct?

Hello,

I've already made the settings where it wouldn't accrue time for overtime hours and vacation hours. However, I noticed that the accrual hours is different when an employee works 45 hours versus 50 hours. Shouldn't the accrual rate stay the same as long as the employee worked at least 40 hours? Since anything over 40 does not count towards the calculation for vacation since it's overtime?

If an employee can earn 1 hour of PTO for every hour worked, then working for 40 hours would equate to 40 hours of PTO. If they worked 50 hours, i.e. 10 hours are overtime, it should also show 40 hours of PTO earned/accrued?

Thanks for updating us, lborja.

In this case, I would recommend contacting our Support team. That way, they can use a screen-sharing tool to guide you with your employee's PTO setup. You can contact the number in this article: Contact Payroll Support. Select your payroll service first.
