Manually Adjust a Payment Plan

Payment plans automatically calculate pay distribution for employees, but you can modify the distribution for an Available job at any time.

If the job has been submitted to payroll, you must first remove the job from payroll before you can adjust the pay distribution.

Important to note

Large payments that occur as a result of manual manipulations to the payment distribution will result in higher tax amounts and will not apply any deductions.

Modifying payment plan distribution for balloon payments does not affect the balloon multiplier, which calculates tax for balloon payments. Close the original job and set up a new job to accommodate payment plan modification for jobs with balloon payment plans.

Manually adjust a payment plan

  1. Select Employee Payroll Information from the Payroll menu.

  2. Click the Display Name hyperlink, or check the box for the employee whose payment plan you want to edit and click the Detail command in the upper right corner of the window. The Employee Payroll Detail window opens.
