Hi, how do I edit a pay for one employee?

Hi HeatherSF,

 

Thanks for posting in the Community!

 

If you did not process automated super payment for that pay run, you can unlock and re-finalise them. However, if there are automated super payments made from the pay run you're unable to unlock them. Just create an ad-hoc pay run to make the additional pay of the pay run affected.

 

To unlock a Pay Run you need to:

 

  1. Click on the Employees tab.
  2. Click on Pay Runs.
  3. Locate and click the pay run to edit.
  4. Click on the Pay Run Actions, and click on Unlock.
  5. Enter a reason or note for unlocking the pay run.
  6. Click on OK.

 

Once you unlock the pay run make the changes needed to and you can then finalise it once again.

 

If there are automated super payments made from the pay run, here's how to create an ad-hoc pay run. 

 

You can use the usual pay schedule you have for the employee or you can create a new pay schedule, called Ad-hoc pay run.

 

  1. Click on Payroll Settings.
  2. Click on Pay Schedules.
  3. Click on Add, and enter a name for the pay schedule like Ad Hoc or how you want to show on the report.
  4. Fill out other fields needs.
  5. Click on Save.

Then, click on New pay run option and select the Pay schedule create. if this only involves one employee, click on Manually add employees to this pay run. From the employees earnings, you can remove them so you will only pay the Leave category.

 

I'm always here if you need further assistance with your payrun. Just leave a message below, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can, HeatherSF. Have a great day!
