How to Adjust and Submit PTO for an Employee in a Previous Pay Period [Pro Software]

Managing employee time-off requests efficiently is crucial for maintaining a harmonious and productive work environment. There are instances when employees might need to request or adjust their Paid Time Off (PTO) for a pay period that has already ended. This article guides supervisors and administrators on how to backdate PTO requests or make adjustments in such scenarios.

Steps/Procedures:

  1. Accessing the Employee List:

    • On the left-hand side of your dashboard, select “Employee List.”
  2. Navigating to the Employee’s Time Off Tab:

    • Find and select the employee whose PTO needs adjusting.
    • Navigate to the “Time Off” tab in their profile.
  3. Adjusting PTO:

    • Under the Time Off tab, click on “Plans.”
    • Choose the relevant plan for adjustment.
    • Click on “Adjust” and then select an adjustment type, the date for the adjustment, and the amount.
    • Important Note: If an employee took 8 hours off, enter '8' for the adjustment. Do not put '-8'.



  1. Adding a Backdated PTO Request:

    • Within the Time Off tab, go to the “Requests” section.
    • Click on “New Request.”
    • A pop-up window or icon will appear. Select the “+” icon to add the necessary information.
    • Fill in the details of the PTO request, including dates and any relevant notes.
    • Submit the request after reviewing the details.
