Wage Error
When doing a weekly pay run (May 2023) I allocated 7.6hours to a staffs Long Service Leave instead of their Sick Pay. How do I go about correcting this issue. Given that it is a different financial year also. Accountant suggested running new payrun for same dated and allocate -7.6hr to long service and +7.6hr to sick pay. Any thoughts please??
Hi
I would do what your accountant suggested. Run a correction only payrun (Choose 'Bonus/Commission' rather than weekly/fortnightly as this option clears out all the standard pay items) for the same pay period as the error occurred in. I would also make a note in the contact log whenever I make such corrections, with a description of the transaction for future reference.
Thanks
