@Thomas Rogers yes. Got it. A common one is commissions. I have advised them to set up a commissions earnings code that is exactly like standard earnings except the accrue time off box is unchecked.

Not sure if you understood my suggestion. You don't need to do anything to the time off codes in employee maintenance or in time off code maintenance.
You just set up a separate earnings code that is not subject to time off accrual and use that whenever you need to pay without accruing time off.

@Thomas Rogers To expand on my previous reply... You are correct. It's a lot easier to uncheck a box in time off maintenance then it is to remove the employee maintenance time off codes and then have to remember to add them back.

Set up an earnings code that is not set to accrue vacation/sick. Clear the check boxes in earnings code maintenance.

@Jeff Schwenk Thank you for the reply. I am going to test your solution. This is happening for several reasons, including bonus, commissions, retropay, etc? PTO accrual is based on hours and checks depending on the time off code applied to the employee.?

Why is this happening? Bonus, retropay, etc? Is the PTO accrual based on hours or checks? If based on hours, you can process the earning code without any hours. Pay flat amount. If based on a check, access the code in maintenance, modify the check entry number by removing the 9 for check number. Then process the check payment as entry # 9
