Adjust Paid Time in Axess Timecard

As soon as it is discovered that an employee missed or submitted an incorrect time and/or leave entry in a previous pay period, Time and Leave administrators and supervisors can enter an Adjust Paid Time entry in Axess Timecard. This adjustment ensures an employee’s record is accurate and complete, and it updates the employee’s leave accrual balances, as appropriate. 

Note: An Adjust Paid Time entry will not correct an overpayment or underpayment.
