How do I void a bonus line item?

Purpose

Voiding kills a line item. It doesn't pay, period. Use this when a bonus shouldn't have been calculated, or a worker forfeits a bonus.

When To Use This

Use this when:

A worker quit before the bonus released and forfeits it
A line item was created in error
Severe quality issue means no bonus regardless of math
You're cleaning up old held items that won't ever pay

Important: Voiding Is Final

You can't undo a void easily. The line item stays in the system but in voided status. If you need to restore the bonus, you'll have to add a new manual line item.

Quick Path

Find the line item
Open actions
Click Void
Add reason
Confirm

Step-by-Step

Voiding flow:

A confirmation modal opens
Add a reason / note (recommended for audit trail)
Save

The line item moves to Voided status. It won't appear on any statement.

What Stays vs What's Gone

Stays: The voided line item record (for audit)
Gone: Any payout impact. Worker won't get this bonus.
Statements: If the item was already on a paid statement, voiding may require a deduction adjustment in the next period.

Common Mistakes & How To Fix Them

"I voided the wrong one" Add a new manual line item with the correct amount and category. The voided one stays in the audit log.
"Voiding pays the worker negative" If the line item was already paid, you may see a negative balance until next period. Check the bonus statement settings for negative rollover behavior.
