i want to payout an employees unused leave as she is changing from permanent to casual

Hi there, @ deenree.

I'm glad you reached out to us. Let me guide you on how to pay unused PTO to an employee in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Since the employee is not leaving the company, you can create another check for that specific employee as an alternative. I'd be glad to walk you through the steps below:

1. Click Workers from the left navigation bar
2. Select Employees.
3. Click Run payroll.
4. Find the employee you want to pay, and then click Create another check.
5. Enter employee compensation, including any salary adjustments, vacation or sick hours, and other pay types.
6. Confirm the pay period and check date.
7. Click Preview Payroll, and then click Submit payroll.
8. If you're creating a paper check, hand write or print the check and give it to the employee by the check date.
9. Click Finish payroll.

Also, there are a variety of payroll reports you can use to view information about your business finances and employees. You may want to check out this article as your reference in case you need to see the complete list of available payroll reports and a guide on how you can access and customize them in QBOP: Run payroll reports in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

In the future, you'll want to check this article on how to inactivate an employee once the contract is ended. 

I'll be around if you have any other questions or concerns for QuickBooks Online Payroll.
