Hi info.

 

You can add a Holiday pay type for any individual employee. We'll need to go through each employee's profile for QuickBooks Online Payroll and Variable Input for PaySuite payroll.

 

Because holiday hours are not considered hours worked, they are not included in the basis for accrual of vacation or sick leave. In states that have a workers' compensation tax based on hours worked, holiday pay is not included in the basis for this tax.

 

To do this task, please follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Employees tab.
  2. Select the applicable employee.
  3. Select + (at the bottom of the page), then select Other pay.
  4. Select or search for the pay type you want to add. If you can’t find the pay type you’re looking for, you can add it.
  5. Select the + to add Bonus, Other earnings, Overtime, Reimbursement etc.
  6. Save your changes.

 

Please feel free to add a comment below if you have any other questions. Have a nice day!

Is there a way I can add standard holiday's into QB for all employees? I'm not talking about setting up pay types. I'm asking if I can pre schedule the holidays in QB. Like memorial day, 4th of July, labor day, Christmas etc. So I don't have to add  the hours for every employee.

Hello there, @angiew2022. I'll be glad to outline how to pre-schedule holidays in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

If you're using QBO Advanced, we've developed a rules engine that's easy to use and supports a wide range of conditions and actions for setting up pay conditions. To do that:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Payroll Settings.
  2. Click the Pay Conditions sub-menu.
  3. Select the Rule Sets link and click Create.
  4. Provide a name and set the rule period.

 

Then, specify the rules that will be part of your rule set. To edit them, select the Edit Rules option. The system will automatically provide a current list of State and Federal bank holidays for every company. However, Local/Regional and company-authorised bank holidays will need to be added manually.

 

Learn more by reading these articles:

 

 

However, if you're subscribed to a standard QBO, you can only add Holiday as a pay type. 

 

Additionally, you may provide your employees a payslip to display their earnings before and after deductions, taxes, and other contributions.

 

Stay in touch whenever you have any follow-up concerns about pay types in QBO. The Community is here to lend you a hand anytime. Take care and have a good one!
