    Hi Ashley5 

     

    Thanks for your post. You can do a  payroll adjustment after the pay has been recorded, which might be the cleaniest and easiest way to fix this. You would need to reverse the pay and reprocess to include the overpaid amount.

     

    You can then follow the instructions in this help article, Fixing a payroll overpayment, to process an adjustment pay to deduct the overpayment. 

     

    The YTD amounts will be corrected in STP when you process and declare the adjustment pay.

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.
