Hi there, Confused26. Yes, you can proceed with that method. It's best to consult your accountant before finalizing these changes to ensure your payroll records remain compliant.
You would void the original cheque and create a new one for the amount already paid. Then, by the time you are ready to pay the employee for the remaining balance, you would create a second paycheque for that amount.
When splitting one pay period into two separate cheques, you must ensure the tax withholdings remain accurate. You can refer to your payroll reports to ensure the combined totals of the two new cheques match the original calculation.
