We can create a leave category for the leave without pay, eddie8.

 

Just a heads up, this option is available in QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll. Here's how to add a leave category:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon, and then select Payroll Settings.
  2. Select Leave Categories.
  3. Go to the Leave Without Pay section.
  4. Enter a NameExternal Id, and Leave Loading.
  5. Select a Leave Category Type.
  6. In the Employee leave balance field, select Not tracked.
  7. Select a Unit type.
  8. In the Payment Setup section, select Don't pay for the leave taken.
  9. Click Save.

 

Afterward, you'll have to add it on your employee's paycheck:

 

  1. Click the Employees tab.
  2. Click New Pay Run.
  3. Fill out the required details on the Pay Run page.
  4. Click Create.
  5. Select an employee and click the pencil (edit) icon.
  6. Select Leave Allowances.
  7. Go to the Leave Without Pay section.
  8. Select a Unit type and enter a Leave loading.
  9. Toggle the Can Apply for Leave option.
  10. Click Save.
