How do I create a company holiday schedule that automatically adds Holiday Pay to employee timesheets?
I’m using QuickBooks Online Payroll with QuickBooks Time, and I’m trying to find a way to set up a company holiday schedule so paid holiday hours automatically populate on employee timesheets.
Holiday Pay is already enabled for our employees, and in the Payroll Item Mapping Tool I can see that Holiday is correctly mapped to Holiday Pay.
What I would like to do is set company holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Day, etc. and have 8 hours of Holiday Pay automatically added to all eligible employees’ timesheets for those dates.
I have checked the new Time Off area in QBO. When I try to enter time off for multiple employees, the only available time-off type is Vacation. Holiday does not appear as an available policy or time-off type, even though Holiday exists in the payroll mapping.
I also checked the Weekly Timesheet, but I do not see a way to select Holiday Pay there for multiple employees.
Is there currently a way to:
- Create a company holiday calendar or holiday schedule in QBO/QuickBooks Time?
- Automatically populate 8 hours of Holiday Pay on employees’ timesheets for those dates?
- Or bulk-enter Holiday Pay for all eligible employees at once?
If this is still possible through Classic QuickBooks Time or another setting, can someone provide the exact steps?
We have about 29 employees, so I’m trying to avoid manually entering Holiday Pay for each employee every holiday.
