It is possible to set vacation pay to be dispersed in a single lump-sum payment, during the period of several payments or monthly. If you have put up employee defaults to pay vacation hours manually, you are able to lessen the number of hours open to the employee by going into the total hours worked on the employee's paycheck after which deducting vacation hours through the Earnings part of the paycheck.
