Payroll adjustments let you manually add or remove pay outside of payroll profiles or timesheets. Use them to correct errors, add commissions, or include work completed outside ServiceTitan. You can link adjustments to invoices for accurate job costing or apply them directly to an employee's payroll.
Setup
What you need to get started
You can create payroll adjustments right away; no setup needed. We recommend reviewing payroll at the end of each pay period to verify details and make any necessary adjustments before sending it for employee approval.
Required permissions
The following permissions are required to use payroll adjustments. To have these enabled, please contact the account administrator on your team:

Note: This permission is required to create payroll adjustments from the Payroll Dashboard.
Key workflows
Add an adjustment to an invoice
Create a payroll adjustment directly from a job invoice to account for additional pay, such as commissions or bonuses. This links the adjustment to job costing for more accurate reporting.
Add an adjustment to an employee
Add payroll adjustments not tied to a specific job or invoice, useful for bonuses or off-platform work. These adjustments don't impact job costing but are still reflected in the employee's pay.
Create bulk payroll adjustments
Use the Payroll Adjustment Template to apply adjustments for multiple employees and pay periods simultaneously. This saves time and helps you correct wages or include outside activities in job costing.
Note: Office Timesheets require account configuration. Contact your success or implementation manager for details.
Create payroll adjustments from the Payroll Dashboard
You can add or edit payroll adjustments when reviewing payroll from the Payroll Dashboard. This makes it easy to ensure accuracy before submitting payroll for approval.
