Editing Add-ons in check adjustment during payroll processing

Currently, you can only edit taxes and deductions in "check adjustment" during payroll processing. It would be extremely helpful if you could also edit add-ons. This comes in handy when you need to make a one-time change to a recurring add-on but want to make sure it defaults back to the original amount in the employee's profile under deduction and add-on's for next payroll. If the add-on is changed at the Employee profile level, then you must remember to change it back after payroll has been updated, which can easily be forgotten. Here's an example: Lets say your employee receives a $200 recurring housing allowance but this one time it was only $100. It would be nice to change the amount in check adjustment during payroll processing so it will default back to the $200 for next payroll.

    This would save my payroll clerk a tremendous amount of time. The current process when discovering an incorrect add-on requires that we go back to timecard entry, exit payroll processing, make the correction, go back in to payroll processing and recalculate all the checks. Much more efficient to just make one small change.

    You can pull up the add-on item under deductions in the check adjustment screen. The amount you enter will show as negative. Both amounts (added and subtracted) will show on the check stub. Not a perfect solution - but it gets the job done.
