Hello @Honeybee2 ! Welcome to the seller community!

If you have already configured your payroll to account for PTO payments, when you run payroll you will see a PTO Hours column. Enter the number of hours used for the PTO here and leave the employee's regular hours blank (or with however many hours they worked in that time period before the vacation)

If you aren't using the PTO functionality in the payroll program, you can always add the employee's vacation hours under the Additional Pay (hours vacation x hourly rate). Personally, I would hesitate adding the vacation hours to the Regular Hours column just to keep the accounting a little cleaner.

Biggest takeaway from this, especially if you're not using the PTO functionality: talk to your CPA about which way they prefer to see the vacation pay entered so that you don't run into any tax pitfalls at the end of the year.
