Thank you for the reply. All of that seems correct. The used vacation and PTO time is still not deducting from the employees balance. We do not integrate with QuickBooks Time.

Thanks for reaching out to the community again for this vacation and PTO deduction concern, @wolfe7501-yahoo-.

I've checked if there are reported issues about this but there isn't any at the moment. If you're still experiencing this odd behavior in payroll after reviewing all the settings, I do recommend reaching out to our Payroll Support to get this reviewed.

They can check on your account and identify what's causing the issue. To get in touch with our payroll representatives, follow these steps in your QBO account:

Click the (?) Help menu, then Contact us.
Add your payroll concern, then select Let's talk.
Choose a way to connect with us:
- Start a chat with a support expert.
- Get a callback from the next available expert.

You can also chat with us online if the wait time for calls is longer than usual. Check out the following links based on the product that you're using:

Please post here the result of the call as I want to ensure this is taken care of. I'll be around also if you have other concerns with the program.
