void a check or direct deposit 3 weeks later?

 Based on the instructions i copied and pasted below it seems that i can void a check/direct deposit  i did last month. 
Would this work in the following situations?

1)  I accidentally paid a man 8hrs vacation instead of bereavement.  Can I void his check and fix?
     I would think the net must be exactly the same 

2) I accidentally cut a man health insurance . Can I void the check and redo his check.  
    I think the addition net would be a manual check 

 

 Void a paycheck in QuickBooks Online

This creates a negative adjustment that offsets the original amount. However, this action doesn't cancel the direct deposit or return the funds. Tax amounts collected through Automated Tax Withdrawal will apply to future payrolls. You can void your paychecks if you have already sent your payroll to us.

void a check or direct deposit 3 weeks later?

Yes, in QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can void a paycheck, but cancelling a direct deposit transaction depends entirely on the status of the paycheck, LDO.

 

Since payroll was processed last month, voiding the paycheck will only create a negative adjustment that offsets the original payment in your QBO records. However, this action will not automatically withdraw funds from the employee’s bank account because the direct deposit has already been completed. Even if you have submitted payroll to QuickBooks, voiding the paycheck may not stop the debit from your bank account for payroll taxes or the direct deposit itself, depending on the processing timeline.

 

I recommend contacting our live support team, who have the internal tools to review the issue and provide a tailored solution.
