Can I void an employee paycheck that has already been processed?

In voiding a paycheck, Leeann. There are two workarounds I can provide. Let me share that with you.

First, if the error you're referring to is with the amount. You can void it if you have the option on your screen.

Follow these to void the paycheck:

1. Go to your Workers tab.
2. Select the Employees list and choose the employee's name.
3. Choose Paycheck List and choose the paycheck that you want to Void. 
4. Confirm if the check has been cashed.
5.  Confirm the action by marking the checkbox, then select Void Paycheck.

However, if you don't have the option of voiding the check, I suggest contacting our support for them to assist in voiding the paycheck for you.

 I'm sharing these articles for you to check and assist with your paychecks:

I appears that I can void the check. Does that mean the funds will be returned to the company account? I wasn't sure since it has already been sent via direct deposit.

I do have the option to void the check. Does this mean that the funds will return to my company account even though the direct deposit has cleared the employee's bank?

Hello there, Leeane.

If the direct deposit has cleared the employee's bank, your funds will not return to your company's account even if you void the paycheck because it's already been processed. However, you can perform an internal agreement to return the amount or request a direct deposit reversal.

You can request a direct deposit reversal five business days from the pay date (US). But this doesn’t guarantee that the funds will be recovered. 

Here's how to submit a request:

1. Open the Direct Deposit Reversal form.
2. Choose Add Request.
3. Fill in the required information and transaction information.
4. Tap Save.
5. Once the reversal is approved, you can void the paycheck in your payroll records.
