Negative PTO

Hello, Emma.  Let me answer your question and provide details on how we can set up your employee's negative PTO without affecting their pay in QuickBooks Time.

Yes, if your employee's PTO goes negative, it will impact their pay. However, if you turn on the Allow Negative Balance and Use it or Lose it tab, you can allow team members to request PTO even if it becomes negative. Here's how:

1. From the left pane, select My Team.
2. Choose an employee, then select Time Off.
3. Select the accrual type next to the time off code in the Accruals column.
4. Choose the accrual type in the Accrual Settings drop-down.
5. Tick the Use it or lose it box.
6. Select Hire Date.
7. Fill out the rest of the accrual settings.
8. Tick the Allow a Negative Balance box.
9. Once done, Click Apply.
