Overriding Pay Stub Amounts

WARNING:   If editing pay stub line items or amounts such as earnings, deductions, employer contributions you should be aware that tax amounts are no longer calculated automatically and the pay stub can not be re-generated later, unless it is manually deleted first, resulting in the changes being lost. Editing pay stub amounts is usually only done when moving from another payroll system to TimeTrex in the middle of a year. See Mid-Year Payroll Migration.

For the majority of circumstances, you should create Pay Stub Amendments rather than editing amounts directly on the pay stub to avoid some of the issues mentioned in the above warning.
