Is it possible to pay out stat holiday pay on every payroll? Or does it only allow paying it out on the actual holiday?

Hi ryley@dialedinwe,

Payroll set up is an integral part of running a business and QuickBooks Online makes it easy by doing most of the work for you. I can help go over how to set up your payroll.

QuickBooks Online Payroll add on is easy to use when setting up what an employee is paid. When you create an employee you're asked all the basic info for example: salary or hourly, what the total or hourly rate is and if vacation is accrued or paid out every pay. Stat holidays however aren't able to be spread out like vacation time as they are in a different category. Should you want to add it on every pay I'd suggest reaching out to an accountant or the CRA to find out how that could affect your employees pay and taxes deducted. You can get in touch with the CRA by following the steps here. If you rather talk to an accountant but don't have one we have your back. You can click the my accountant option in your QuickBooks Online account and then go to find a pro to help. Once there you can find an accountant in your area to help.

Hope this helped clarify holiday pay in QuickBooks Online.
