I need to Find Out if the Correct amount is on the Direct Deposit for this Pay Period and if Not how to fix it

Hello, @JnChauling2025. It's a great idea to double-check those direct deposit totals to ensure everything runs smoothly, and I'm glad to help you with that.

 

To ensure everything is correct, you can refer to the Paycheck List to view all the checks you have created. Click on the Net Pay amount to see the detailed breakdown of taxes and deductions that contributed to the

final total. Here's how:

 

  1. Head to the All apps menu in the left corner of your screen.
  2. In the Payroll section, choose Employees.
  3. Go to the Paycheck List under Run Payroll.

  4. Open the specific paycheck for this pay period and confirm the Net Pay amount is correct.
  5. Ensure that all wages, deductions, and taxes have been calculated accurately.

 

Correcting a payment amount depends on whether the direct deposit has already transmitted to the bank. We can check the Status column for this entry in your Paycheck List.

 

If the status is still "Pending" and you are before the cutoff, you can Delete or Void the check and redo it. Here's how:

 

  1. Head to the Paycheck List under Run payroll.
  2. Click the Check dropdown under the Actions column.
  3. Choose either Delete or Void.

If you notice an issue after the deadline (when the payroll status is processed or processing), the funds have already been transferred or are on their way to the employee's account. In this situation, we should wait until the funds have been deposited before making any adjustments to the next paycheck. Also, we can ask the employee to return any overpayment if needed.
