How do I void a bonus in Protiv?

Void a bonus to remove it from calculations while keeping a full audit trail.

Purpose

This article explains how to void bonuses in Protiv. Voiding removes a bonus from calculations without deleting it, so your records stay clean and auditable.

When To Use This

Use this when you need to:

  • Correct a bonus that was added by mistake
  • Remove a bonus before payout without losing history
  • Make bulk corrections across multiple bonuses

Before You Start

Before voiding a bonus, confirm:

  • The bonus has not already been paid out
  • You understand how the void will affect the full statement
  • You have permission to manage bonuses and deductions

Quick Path

  1. Find the bonus line item.
  2. Use the ⋯ menu to select Void.
  3. Confirm the action.
  4. Bonus is excluded from calculations but kept for audit history.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 — Void an individual bonus from Line Items

Use this when fixing a single bonus.

  1. Go to the Line Items view in bonuses.
  2. Find the bonus line item you want to remove.
  3. Click the ⋯ menu on the right side of the row.
  4. Select Void.
  5. Confirm in the modal.

What happens next:

  • Status changes to Void
  • Bonus amount is removed from calculations
  • Line item stays visible for audit purposes

Step 2 — Void multiple bonuses at once (bulk)

Use this for large cleanups or systematic corrections.

  1. Go to the Line Items view in bonuses.
  2. Select multiple line items using the checkboxes.
  3. Click Bulk Actions.
  4. Choose Void.
  5. Confirm the bulk action.

Only bonuses that are eligible to be voided can be included in bulk actions.

Step 3 — Void a bonus from a statement

Use this when reviewing a specific worker statement.

  1. Open the bonus statement.
  2. Find the bonus in the bonuses or deductions section.
  3. Click the ⋯ menu next to the line item.
  4. Select Void.

Step 4 — Release a voided bonus if needed


If a bonus was voided by mistake, you can restore it.

  2. Click the ⋯ menu.
  3. Select Release.
  4. Confirm in the modal.

The bonus returns to In Process and is included in calculations again.

A bonus added to the wrong worker is voided before payout. The statement recalculates, but the audit record remains.

Example 2:
Multiple incorrect bonuses are selected and voided in bulk during a cleanup before payroll close.

Common Mistakes & How To Fix Them

  • Trying to void a paid bonus
    Fix: Paid bonuses can’t be voided. Review payout timing first.
  • Forgetting statement impact
    Fix: Always review totals after voiding. One change affects the full statement.
  • Deleting instead of voiding
    Fix: Use void to preserve history and compliance.
  • Overusing bulk void
    Fix: Double-check selections before confirming bulk actions.
