How can I assign a "vacation rate" that will deduct hours when vacation is used that will not default to their hourly rate? My employees vacation rates are varied.

It’s great to see you in the Community, swfloridasalons.

I appreciate you for taking the initial steps on how to set up your employees’ vacation rate and letting us know the result. Let me help and point you in the right direction on how to handle your concern.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can only set one vacation pay and rate. This is to ensure it's properly tracked in your company.

We’re continuously working towards improving the product’s features including payroll. Thus, I suggest sending feedback about adding different options when setting up the vacation policy and rate. This way, our product engineers will be aware that this type of enhancement is important for your business and other customers.

Here’s how:

1. In your company, press the Gear icon in the upper right and choose Feedback under Profile.
2. This will open display a window where you can enter your suggestions.
3. From there, make sure to key in your feedback in the field box.
4. Click Next to submit it.

I’m adding some links below for future references. These articles provide detailed information on how to set your workers' sick and vacation pay for each payroll service.
