I use QuickBooks Intuit ONLINE Payroll.  Sadly,  I think vacation is accruing on holidays and PTO i.e vacation ,  How do I stop this?
I only want vacation to accrue on actual worked hours.
Thanks

QuickBooks Online Payroll automatically calculates vacation accruals based on all paid hours, including regular work, holidays, sick time, and PTO. You will need to manually adjust employees' accruals if you want to exclude non-working paid hours so that only actual worked hours count toward vacation.

 

You can also do this on the preview screen before submitting payroll. Subtract any hours accrued from non-worked time such as PTO or holidays, and override the total accrual amount.
