As an Owner, Vacation Pay should not be calculated or accumulated(nor Accrued), however an amount is displayed when trying to prepare a ROE, why?

Hi userdingwellsbr,

Welcome to the community. It's important that your payroll forms are accurate so that you can submit them correctly to governments. QuickBooks Online is a flexible program that simplifies the way you manage your books. I'd be glad to point you in the right direction to get the support you need regarding vacation pay on the Record of employment.

Quickbooks Online Payroll uses the information entered in the employee's profile along with the produced paycheques to create the record of employment. Having the vacation pay amount on the Record of employment means that it was set up under the employee's profile. I'd encourage you to follow these steps to disable vacation pay tracking.

1. Select Payroll on the left navigation menu.
2. Click on Employees tab.
3. Select the employee.
4. Select Edit Employee and Scroll down.
5. Click on the drop down under Let's create a new vacation policy for the employee > choose Don't track holiday in QuickBooks.
6. Click on Done.

By doing this, the system will not track or accrue vacation pay for future pay. Also, I'd encourage to manually edit the existing Record of employment with the vacation pay. I recommend reaching out to your accountant for help with any information you may need to edit or create an ROE. If you don't have an accountant, you can find one near you by clicking on My Accountant on the left navigation menu> and then Find a pro to help.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'll be happy to help.
