You can set up a payroll item for holiday pay. Just a heads-up, holiday hours are not considered hours worked, they are not included in the basis for accrual of vacation or sick leave. Also, the ability to accrue holidays is not available in QuickBooks.
Here's how:
Go to the Employees tab.
Find the employee you wish to add holiday pay for
Choose + (at the bottom of the page), then select Other or Added pay.
Select or search for the payment type you want to add.
If you can’t find the payment type you’re looking for, you can add it.
Choose an option you will have the ability to rename this as 'Holiday pay' or however you wish to record this.
Click Save.
