I've been issuing a lot of ROEs lately and have noticed that the vacation pay from one period is being included with the earning for the following period. This continues until the final pay period which has the vacation from the current period plus the vacation pay for the period before.  Has anyone else encountered this?

Hi albertenterprises,

 

It's great that you're taking advantage of the QuickBooks Online Payroll for your business needs. The Add-on Payroll program is set up to calculate the totals for your forms saving you time. I can explain why the ROE calculations are recorded the way they are.

 

In the article Create a Record of Employment (ROE, it explains how the different pay types are reported. If Vacation Pay is paid out every pay period it's reported in the reporting period that the pay cheque is paid out because this is when it's recognized. If it's accrued it'll be recognized within the reporting period that the pay period is in. 

 

I hope this helps clarify the way QuickBooks Online Payroll calculates the totals. If you have any more questions, I'm here to help.
