We are a California Employer. I have already posted about the failure of QuickBooks to provide accurate tracking for Qualified Overtime Compensation because not all of our overtime meets the FLSA definition.

I had to build an Excel spreadsheet to track Qualified Overtime accurately. Now I have identified multiple employee's that I need to DECREASE their YTD Qualified Overtime Compensation that was previously added to their paychecks. I thought this would be a simple process, but QuickBooks own instructions do not work.

Please see the attached screenshots. How do I DECREASE the QOT previously reported? Voiding paychecks and redoing them to fix this is an unacceptable solution.
