Incorrect Payroll category used

Hi I have just completed & Paid a payrun & I have realised that for 1 employee I used base hours instead of annual leave.  What is the best way to fix this.   Thanks JBK

    Hi JBK7 

     

    This adjustment will need to be made in payroll as only payroll updates the employees pay history and thus the reports to the ATO.

     

    If the net pay was zero, AccountRight would prompt for this to be a void pay. A void pay is simply a zero dollar net pay, all of the figures on the pay still carry through to the pay history of that employee

Hi JBK7 

 

If you had paid on the wrong payroll category, as long as the amounts were the same then you could do an adjusting pay where the incorrect payroll category has a negative number of hours and a positive number of hours against the correct payroll category.

 

This will fix up the year to date figures so the next time you report to the ATO the figures will be correct

    Hi Neil

     

    Thankyou for your reply.

     

    I did try this but I got the message " do you want to void this pay" due to the zero balance because the amounts are the same.  Do you mean for me to make this adjustment elsewhere? ie not in payroll??
