If it's OK with the employee, do it on the next paycheck:

 

On the check, use the holiday pay item and put negative hours next to it to back out that pay.

Then add another line to the earnings table for the overtime pay with positive hours.

Good afternoon, @diane49.

What?  There is no need to contact support for this. It can be fixed with a new off-cycle paycheck, or on the next regular paycheck.

 

In any case, given that holiday pay and overtime use two different rates of pay, there is no way to effectively change a past check that has been issued and cashed - or direct deposited.  It's water under the bridge.

 

Why push the customer to down a path that is not useful?
