Pay Adjustments
Select Maintenance > Labor > Pay Adjustments to access this function.
Use the Pay Adjustments function to manually enter and edit paid time off (PTO) in the form of sick, holiday, or vacation time for your employees. Calculate the PTO pay in hours, dollar amounts, or both. In addition, you set parameters related to meal and rest period breaks, split shift premiums, and other system-generated adjustments. You can add Pay Adjustments from either the Front-of-House (FOH) terminal or the Back-of-House (BOH) terminal, if you have appropriate access.
The Pay Adjustments function uses wage types you define; however, the Aloha POS system has some predefined pay adjustment types that you cannot edit. In addition to sick pay, holiday, and vacation pay, here are some examples of PTO pay adjustment types:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Bonus | Pay for bonus number of hours or a flat dollar amount. |
| Bereavement | Pay for funeral leave. |
| Jury Duty | Pay for jury service. |
| Training | Pay for time spent while employee is in training. |
| Cash Tips | Dollar amount or hours employee receives for tips. |
| Adjustments | Pay adjustment to correct a previous error, deduct an authorized deduction, or any other adjustment needed. |
Warning: Refer to the wage and pay day laws for your state to ensure your policies and procedures comply. We recommend that any adjustments to wages be authorized in writing by the employee and the supervisor.
