2. On the Pay PTO prior to pay period (days) field, you need to enter the number of days back to include the missed PTO

3. Click Save

4. Sync the updates done into the payroll tax engine through the Update Payroll Information screen

a. Navigate to Setup > Payroll > Update Payroll Information

b. If you have a NetSuite OneWorld account, select a subsidiary from the dropdown list in the Subsidiary field
c. Click the Agree checkbox
d. Click Commit Updates

      e. Navigate to the To Resolve tab to check for any errors and resolve, if any

 

When the paycheck is created the PTO hours can now be selected in the Time tab and be added to the employee's paycheck
