Carry Over Vacation Pay

We switched to Sage effective Jan 01, 2026. How do I enter the carry over vacation pay from our previous pay system? I was positive I had done this but am unable to find it and on their paystub it only shows what has been earned since the change over.

Thank you,

Jodie

    Hello  and thank you for using the Sage community hub.

    For Sage Cloud Payroll, prior-system vacation must be entered as a conversion / opening balance per employee

    You can only enter your employee year to date values during your first pay run in Sage Payroll.

    After creating your first pay run schedule, you are presented with a list of your employees.

    1. To enter an employee's year to date values, select the employee.

    2. Enter their values as required in the Conversion Value section

      Here is a screenshot for your assistance as an example

      If you've already finalized the first payrun but haven't yet recorded any payments, or haven't processed too many payruns since Jan 1st, you might consider reverting the payruns to go back to the first payrun, and make the correction in that first payrun.

      If reverting is not an option, the alternative would be to make the adjustment in the next payrun

      Here are a few article to provide you with guidance depending on your situation

    How do I enter the vacation money to each employee if all the pay runs have been finalized?

    AS an alternative, you can use the following pay run, select the name of each employee one at a time, choose to edit/adjust taxes and other amounts, and at the very bottom, you can use the "Vacation Earned" field to enter the missing vacation amount to account for it, along with the vacation earned on the next pay run itself.

    If you need us to walk you through it, please contact the support team via chat in Sage Payroll and one of our agents will guide you through the process.

    Regards.
