From time to time it may be necessary to apply a manual override for an Employee’s allowance or carry over values. Fortunately, this is not only possible but it is very easy to do! Any allowance or carryover figures can be overridden on a per employee, per annual summary basis. I t is important to note that these overrides apply to the year(s) you apply them for and they will not be automatically applied to subsequent or prior years.

Note: Only Admins will be able to make these alterations and override annual allowance and/or carryover amounts.
