Hi l-nagy-parklandm,

 

Welcome to the Community. Being able to run payroll is essential to ensure that your employees are paid. QuickBooks Online payroll is a great program that gives you the ability to pay your employees and track your remittances. I'd be glad to point you in the right direction to pay out vacation pay.

 

If you accrued vacation pay for your employee, I encourage you to refer to the following steps to pay it.

 

  1. Click on Payroll on the left navigation menu.
  2. Select Employee.
  3. Click on Run payroll.
  4. Select your pay schedule and your employee.
  5. Edit the Pay date and the Pay period if necessary.
  6. Under Vacation pay, enter vacation hours to be paid.
  7. Select Preview payroll.
  8. Click Submit payroll.
     

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

the question asked was about paying vacation pay not as part of a regular pay; will the steps you provided issue a pay cheque for only the vacation payout and not include regular pay??

Hi there KellyTMitton,

 

It's important that all your payroll transactions are entered correctly for your books to be well balanced. QuickBooks Payroll is a great tool able t help you pay your employees for their hours worked all while entering this pay in your books. I can provide some information about running payroll.

 

.You can make two cheques for the same pay period, you would just need to select the pay period wanted, then a message will appear saying that you've already paid for this period, and to click there to make another cheque for the same period. Select the pay date you want to use as well. Once clicked on this option, you can then enter the amount of vacation desired, then click on the pencil beside the row to make sure all other pay types are not being calculated.

 

if you have any other questions, feel free to reach out here.
