Overpayment of wages and deduction in next pay run

Hi there,

I have accidently over paid an employee for a shift they did not do. 

The employee does not claim the tax free threshold and has agreed to just have this over payment deducted from future payroll, therefore If i am able to enter the deduction of hour not worked it should correct the worked hours and wages/ tax balances.

How do I recreated a deduction in the next pay run to correct this? The only options I have in my payroll setting for creating deduction don't related the worked hours / pay catagories.

Overpayment of wages and deduction in next pay run

Hi AbleU,

 

Let me show you how to deduct the overpayment made on the previous payroll to the new one. 

 

  1. Go to Employees tab.
  2. Select New pay run.
  3. Select the correct Pay Schedule, Pay period ending and Date pay run will be paid.
  4. Select Create.
  5. Select an employee to expand the details on it. 
  6. On Actions button select Add earnings. 
  7. On the Earnings section on your pay run, select the primary pay category of your employee.
  8. Enter the hours that should not be paid on the previous pay run as negative value and enter the rate. 
  9. Select Save. 

 

Once you confirm the details on the pay run are accurate, you can finalise it.

This does not work. I just attempted it in QBO.

Overpayment of wages and deduction in next pay run

Hi jessicafrw,

 

Are you looking to reduce the employee's earnings or are you looking to record against the overpayment with a payroll pre-tax or post-tax deduction on the next pay slip? 

 

Let us know if you need any help. Thanks.
