Issue/Symptom/Question

We are managing and tracking PTO in a separate system and thus do not want the warnings passed when we submit employee time through the interface tables.

Applies To

Payroll > Setup > PTO, Hours Classification Codes and Overtime Rules > Paid Time Off Categories

Resolution/Fix/Answer

In the PTO Categories screen, the right-most column indicates whether to generate a warning or an error if the balance of available PTO hours are less than the entry - A value of "N" in this column indicates no edit should be made.  

Use the 'Bal <0 Causes' field to indicate whether a warning message, an error message, or no message is provided when a timecard entry causes the PTO balance for an employee to become negative.
Available values are:

• E – You want to prevent the entry with an error message.
• N – You do not want a warning or an error message.
• W – You want a warning message which allows the entry to continue.

Entry is required. This field defaults as W; however, you can override this default if necessary.
