Reconciling payroll overpayment that was partially repaid.

We accidentally paid an employee $400 via direct deposit, instead of $100. The employee returned $300, we voided the $400 paycheck, and we registered the correct $100 payroll as a paper check. I don't know how to categorize this to reconcile our accounts. Currently our chart of accounts sees payments of $400 and $100, and a deposit of $300. This leaves our balance at -$200, instead of -$100. 

 

I thought I could split the paper check transaction to bring the sum to $0 while still including that payroll item so our tax liabilities are correct. But when I try to edit the item through either bank register or payroll item's transaction journal, I just get sent to the Payroll Summary reports page.
