Thanks for the screenshot you provided. You'll need to go to the Employee's profile to change or edit the vacation hourly rate, Jessica.

To do so, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Employees menu and select Employee Centre.
2. Right-click the employee's name and choose Edit Employee.
   
3. From the Payroll Info tab, select Vacation Hourly Pay.
   
4. Make changes on the rate.
5. Click OK.

QuickBooks will automatically subtract it from the employee's final net pay. I've added a screenshot for your visual guide:
