Introduction

The Time Off Adjustments form is used to review and adjust the available time off for any particular employee.

Usage

Imagine, for example, discovering that a new employee who was hired several months ago was accidentally setup to accrue 1.54 hours of vacation time each week (two weeks per year), instead of 0.77 hours of vacation time each week (one week per year).  The Time Off Adjustments form would be used to adjust the available time overage down to the correct amount of time.  Of course, the Time Off Adjustments form can be used to increase available time off as well.

Form Access

To view the payroll items for an employee, first open the Employee List (Employee | Employee List), then use one of the following three ways to open an employee’s payroll items form:

  • Right-click on an employee and select Employee Payroll Items from the pop-up menu, or

  • Single-click on an employee to highlight, the click the Employee button and select Employee Payroll Items from the fly-out menu, or

  • Double-click on an employee to open their employee record (the Edit Employee form will open), then click on the Menu button and select Payroll Items from the fly-out menu.
