How do I setup a pay type in Quickbooks Online that records Holiday and PTO hours paid to an employee but is not included in worked hours reported to Washington L&I?

Hello there, lisa.

Let me provide information on how employee's holiday and PTO work in QuickBooks Online. I'll also ensure you're able to smoothly manage the WA workers' compensation.

Please know that setting up a pay type that records Holiday and PTO hours paid to an employee but is not included in worked hours reported to Washington L&I is currently unavailable. This is because adding those types will calculate related to workers' comp. Then, the rate or calculation of this is based on what you get from the WA Department of Labor & Industries, or on their website. 

Furthermore, QuickBooks follows WA L&I regulations and calculates workers’ comp at 160 hours per month. Workers’ comp is calculated on the employee’s first paycheck of each month. You can refer to this article to see extra details: Set up and manage Washington (WA) workers' compensation.

On the other hand, you can consider consulting an accountant to ask for additional help in properly recording the Holiday and PTO of an employee on your end. This is done to ensure your taxes are reported correctly. If you don't have an accountant, you can find one through this website: Find-a-ProAdvisor website.

In case you need steps on how to run different reports that show about employee info, wages, taxes, and deductions, you can read this article: Run payroll reports.
