Hoping for some help / guidance

 

I set up a new payroll item earlier this year in order to track sick pay and didn't realize that I hadn't set it up to also accrue vacation (We live in Quebec and vacation is payable on sick pay).  This realization led to my next discovery that we haven't been accruing vacation on vacation paid (also due to being in Quebec).  I have a call out to our accountant but it could be a while before he answers regarding how far back I should be going in order to adjust for these internal mistakes.   In the interim, he knows nothing about Quickbooks Desktop and so I am here asking for help.  I have read through a few other discussions here and the best I have come up with is simply adjusting the amount in each employee's vacation bank.  Seeing as I am not an accountant, I feel very hesitant to simply adjust without any type of journal entry .. please advise !

Hey there, @Deelee1978

 

Welcome to the Community! I'd be more than happy to point you in the right direction to get this problem handled with sick/vacation pay. 

 

With the details you gave, the first route to take would be to consult with your accountant. From there, they'll give you the best advice and answer on how to adjust this. 

 

After speaking with them, you can come back here and let us know what they say so we can help you put this in the QuickBooks Desktop account. 

 

I'll be waiting for your response!
