Using payroll deduction for employee to reimburse a personal expense charged on company credit card

After returning from a business trip, two employees had left the company credit card as their default card on ride share apps.  They both accrued personal trips on the company card in error.  They both requested that I deduct the amount from their paycheck.  What would be the easiest way to do this while being able to match the reimbursement to the expense.

Using payroll deduction for employee to reimburse a personal expense charged on company credit card

The employees need to reimburse the company for personal charges they put on the company credit card.  The company is not reimbursing the employee.

Using payroll deduction for employee to reimburse a personal expense charged on company credit card

Thanks for getting back to us with clarification on your concerns, @ajsutter. I'm here to guide you in deducting the personal charges from the employees' paychecks.

 

To do this, you'll need to l set up a Payroll Deduction item from Net pay as wage garnishment. 

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. Go to the Workers tab, then click Employees.
  2. Select the employee's name, then select Edit next to Pay.
  3. In section 5, select + Add a new deduction or + Add deductions.
  4. From the Deductions/contributions dropdown menu, choose New deduction/contribution.
  5. Choose a Deduction type and Type from the small arrow icon, then enter Provider name(appears on a paycheck).
  6. From the Amount per pay period icon, choose $ amount or % of gross pay and enter the $ amount or percentage. Do the same for the Company-paid contribution as applicable.
  7. Click OK, then Done.

 

To match the reimbursement to the expense, use the same account in the payroll item to be used for the deduction on the employees' paycheck. 

 

To make sure your books are correct, I'd recommend consulting an accountant.
