LWP- how do you correct/amend the amount ended

Hi - I have picked up an error where LWP was entered and should have been .842 days but instead was entered as 842 days. How do I correct this? I tried adding -842 but the system will not take this.

Please advise.

    Hi CSANH

     

    To correct the error with the LWP (Leave Without Pay), you can create a separate pay run for the affected employee. In that pay run, enter the negative number of days you wish to deduct from the current leave hours. For example, if it should have been 0.842 days instead of 842 days, enter -842 days in the pay run adjustment. If you need any further help or have more questions, just let us know!

     

    Best regards,

    Doreen

      Hi Doreen

      MYOB doesn't allow me to enter a negative figure at all i.e. -842 days under LWP, I have tried this.

      Happy for you to email me or phone me as I would like to fix this.

      Thanks

    Hi CSANH

     

    If you could attach a screenshot of the window where you're trying to enter the -842 days under LWP, that would be great! Just make sure not to include any sensitive information on your screenshot before posting publicly.

     

    Best regards,

      Hi Doreen

      In the staff members pay section when processing the fortnightly pays, is where I am trying to put -842 but regardless of the start and end dates, the leave taken (days) window on the right, does not accept a negative figure.

      Thanks

        Hi CSANH,

         

        Thanks for sharing the screenshot of the pay-run screen. If the system doesn’t accept negative entries, you may need to void the original entry and input the correct figure of 0.842 days. For more info, please check out this Help article: Changing or deleting a pay.

         

        Feel free to get in touch if you need more help.

         

        Cheers,

        Princess
