Good morning, @LDO.
How are you doing today? I hope all is well.
In the past, we've had users with similar issues adjust the vacation hours (this corrects the available hours, not the paycheck), then on the next check add the bereavement hours.
To do this:
1. Go to Payroll › Employees.
2. Select the employee.
3. Under Time off policies, find Vacation.
4. Click Edit balance (or Adjust balance).
5. Enter –5 hours in the adjustment field (this corrects the available hours, not the paycheck).
6. Save.
Then, on the next paycheck:
1. Don’t add or subtract any vacation hours.
2. Just add 5 hours of Bereavement pay so they’re properly compensated.
This corrects the balances without entering a negative value on a paycheck.
Please know you should always consult with your accounting professional before making any changes to your account. Your accountant can advise the best course of action based on your business needs.
That should do the trick. Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns. Take care!
