I need to pay an employee some of his Accrued Vacation Pay, but the way I enter it is increasing the Employer YTD under AVP. Can you assist please?

When you are ready to payout Accrued Vacation Pay you will enter the dollar amount as a Payroll Item (same drop down where you would select Hourly, Salary, etc) and select "Vacation"

Next you will go to the Payroll Liability section and add a line by selecting Accrued Vacation and then go to the Employer Amount and enter the same amount as the Payroll Item but as a negative amount. For example, If you entered $700 as Vacation Pay in the Payroll Item section then you will enter ($700) under the Employer Amount for the Accrued Vacation Payroll Liability.

This reduces the Employer Owing amount in the Liability Account and helps to track the employees vacation pay and will reflect this in the YTD on the paycheck stub.
