Resolution/Fix/Answer

To manually enter/adjustment PTO balances:

  • Navigate to the Employee Paid Time Off Adjustment Screen
  • Enter the Employee Id/PTO Code in the respective field
  • In the Effective date field, enter the day you want this balance to be available to the Employee for use
  • Enter the Hours with which you would like to give the employee
  • Enter a value of Y or N in the "Create Accounting Entries" field
    Note: 
    If you enter Y here, Penta will post an accrual entry for this PTO

    Note: The accounting entry will be determined by the "Debit and Credit" accounts set up at the PTO code level
  • If Accounting are to be posted, then enter the date you would like the distribution to take place in the "Posting Date" field.
  • Exit the screen to affect the posting date.
