Things to know

• Managers can only create adjustments for the employees assigned to them.

• Administrators can create adjustments for all employees.

• You can also create payroll adjustments on invoices, directly for an employee, and in bulk.

• If you create a payroll adjustment for payroll that the employee has already signed off on, the employee status changes from Approved to Pending. This allows the employee to review the adjustment and sign off again.
