How to I record clawback of an overpayment to an employee?

How to I record clawback of an overpayment to an employee? The employee was overpaid in April when the payroll calculation was correct but the bank transfer to the employee was processed for a higher amount. Payroll in May was calculated as normal and the bank transfer to the employee was paid net of the overpayment amount. How do I record the April overpayment? I can match the transaction and split the overpayment into a separate line. How do I record the May repayment? As the actual payment made is less than the calculated net payment qb does not find a match for the transaction. Illustration: April net wages due = £1,000 April payment made = £1,100 Overpayment = £100 May net wages due = £1,000 May payment made = £900 Overpayment balance = Nil
