2. Proceed to the drop-down list for Pay Schedule and choose the right one, then select Create.
3. Click the drop-down list for Pay Run Actions, then choose Adjust Leave or Bulk adjust leave balance.
4. Choose the name of the employee, then select the Leave Category. 
5. Select the Leave Category you wish to correct it to and enter the Hours. 
6. Click Save.
7. Enter the adjustment in the New Leave Balance column, then enter any relevant Notes, then select Save.
8. Click Apply to pay run.
