payroll deductions/contributions

  1. An employee chose not to have a payroll deduction for this past paycheck so I changed it to $0.00. I forgot about the company match, though, so now it looks like we contributed $68.06. How do I correct this?

Hello, @mschuitema.

 

Depending on the type of payroll you've created, you can delete and recreate the payroll check if you've created a paper check.

 

Here' how to delete a paper check:

  1. Go to the Workers menu.
  2. Choose Employees.
  3. Select the Paycheck list.
  4. Place a checkmark in the boxes next to the duplicate paychecks. If necessary, you can modify the date range with the drop-down above Pay Date.
  5. Click Delete.
  6. Place a check-mark in the box and choose Delete Paycheck.

Once completed, you can now recreate the paycheck. However, if you've created a direct deposit payroll check, I'd recommend contacting our Payroll Support team. A specialist can securely access your account. Also, they have the tools to help you with correcting your payroll. Here's how to contact us:

  1. Go to the? (Help) icon.
  2. Choose Contact us.
  3. On the How can we help field, enter a brief description of your concern.
  4. Click Continue.
  5. Choose a way you'll want to contact us either, Post a question, Start messaging, or Get a callback.
  6. Continue with the prompt.

Lastly, you can have an internal agreement with your employee that you'll just remove the company's share of payroll deduction on their next payroll.
