Did not mark Earnings that Accrue vacation
Hello - I have one employee accruing vacation. I followed all the steps indicated below (I copied them from another threat), but I forgot to mark the Earnings That Accrue Vacation.
How do I fix this now that I need to pay the vacation out to the employee? I have the amount that I need to pay out but not sure if I should make a Journal Entry (and which accounts should be affected) or a Payroll Adjustment?
Hope someone can help out.
1. From the Employee Centre, right click on the employee and select Edit Employee
2. In the Payroll Info, hit Vacation Pay
3. Enter the $ amount payable and $ amount used YTD
4. If you'd like QuickBooks to calculate and accrue vacation throughout the year, select Retain
5. To have it added to each pay cheque, choose Pay Every Period
6. The default value is 4% but you can edit this if needed
7. In the Earnings That Accrue Vacation, choose the appropriate Payroll Item with a checkmark in the Payroll Item column.
8. When finished, click OK
You can check the employee's profile to ensure the payroll item's set up to accrue, then create a test pay cheque and print a paystub.
