I need to reduce a paycheck that was cashed for an overpayment of hours

The best thing to do in this case, once a check has been issued and accepted by an employee and then cashed, is to reduce the pay on the next paycheck.

 

You can do this by entering the overpaid hours on the new check as a separate line item with negative hours.

I tried that.  It will not accept a negative hours entry. 

Thanks though!
