You can manually add the remaining PTO to the current balance. Manual adjustments are necessary to ensure the accuracy of your payroll and compliance with your company's PTO policy.
Here's how:

- Click the employee’s name for whom you need to adjust the PTO.
- Go to the Payroll Info tab in the employee profile.
- Click the Sick/Vacation button.
- In the Vacation column enter the PTO in the Hours available as of box.
- Click OK.
