Paid an employee with 2 payments - rerun doesn't record split payment transactions
Hi,
I did a payrun recently where one of the employees had an incorrect amount of tax withheld. They are under 18 & should have had no tax deducted from their pay but I didn't notice this & paid them the net amount. After finding my error I reversed their pay & reran it, setting the tax withheld amount to 0 & then paid them the balance they were owed. During this 2nd payrun I forgot to set them up with a split pay so the transaction recorded had the full amount instead of the 2 amounts I actually paid. So, as per instructions from similar posts, I reversed this again, set up the split payment & then reran the payrun. When I downloaded the bank file (to record the payment transactions but not actually pay again), I could see the aba file had the 2 split payments. However, when I went to match the first bank transaction amount, only the total amount (sum of the 2 split payments) was available for matching. Any suggestions on how to get past this?
Thanks
Nicky
Hi again
so you have the payrun in the bank in myob
I am assuming that this payrun transaction that you have sitting in the bank account in MYOB reflects the correct payroll amount in total
eg $2150 in total but the bank statement has two transactions eg $2000 and then the additional 150
and to match the transaction seems impossible as there is only the one payroll but the two transactions
if that is correct I suggest
match the payroll transaction with the first payment and on the right hand side you can do an adjustment ( in purple)
allocate the difference to the payroll clearing account ( set this up if you need to)
so you match the $2000 payment in bank feeds with the payroll transaction and then add the adjustment as payroll clearing account with a minus $150
then when the $150 needs to be allocated assign it to the payroll clearing account
the myob payroll transaction is reconciled and the payroll clearing account cancels each other out
hope that I have properly understood and this suggestion helps
