Payroll error correction

We process weekly payroll through the timesheets. After processing the previous week's pay, I realized that his hourly rate needs to be changed. For example, during the pay week from September 9 to September 15, I applied a pay rate of $35, and he worked 20 base hours and 2 hours of overtime. However, his rate should be $37 per hour. I need to pay the difference in that rate. How do I make this adjustment? 

Thanks

    Hi buddhikegamage,

     

    Since you've underpaid an employee, you can make an adjustment on their next pay. If they need the money now, you can record a new pay for the employee. Enter the adjustment amount in the Hours or Amount columns of the category that was underpaid. Remember to zero out all the categories that you are not adjusting. The net pay amount should be equal to the underpayment. You can also use the Memo field on the pay to enter a note about this payment. You can also check this link for more information.

     

    Best regards,
