Accrued leave in error

Question

Hi, I have recently started at a new company, while going through some payroll reports I noticed that a termination payment for a previous employee back from 2018 was paid out there annual leave, but the person who ran the payrol report also accumulated leave and personal leave. Whats the best way to reverse this as it was back in 2018

Hi @MonAdmin

If you are looking to record the reversal or a negative pay in 2018, it can only be done by restoring a backup file made during that payroll year, typically at the end of the payroll year and before the payroll year roll over. It would help you generate correct reports for that year only, changes recorded are not carried into the current company's file.

From the software perspective, if you entered termination date in the employee card, then all entitlement balances are hidden away. If for reasons the employee card hasn't been terminated, previous leave balances will be rolled into the 'Carried Over' column, you can update the balance according to this Help article: Adjust leave entitlements.
