Thank you for choosing QuickBooks Online. You can add or adjust a leave balance when processing a pay run or by unlocking and editing a past paycheck. Any changes you make will automatically update the leave balance in the employee's profile.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to All apps, click Payroll, and select Employees.
  2. Click New Pay Run, choose a Pay Schedule, and fill in any other required fields, then click Create.
  3. Choose the employee whose leave you want to adjust to open their record.
  4. Under Leave Accrued, click the pencil icon on the specific leave category and enter the new balance.
  5. Click Save.
  6. Once the pay run is complete, select Finalise Pay Run.

 

Let us know if you have additional concerns. Have a great day.
