Yes, you can reverse or undo a manual paycheque by either voiding or deleting it.

 

Here's how:
 

  1. Go to Payroll, then select Employees.
  2. Click Paycheque list.
  3. Locate the paycheque you want to reverse.
  4. Hit the dropdown button on the right.
  5. Choose Void to zero out the cheque while keeping it on record, or Delete to remove it entirely (Delete is only available if the cheque hasn't been processed yet).
  6. A confirmation prompt or pop-up window will appear. Select Void Paycheque or Delete.

 

If you need to reissue the cheque with corrected details afterward, you can create a new manual paycheque from your payroll dashboard.
