Overpaid Employee 9c

AnitaK

I have overpaid an employee 9 cents by misreading 78 as 87.  Is there anyway to adjust this without having to ask for a refund from the employee or adjust his pay?  Do I have to redo and resubmit for one touch payroll??  It seems lot a lot of effort for 9cents!!!

Hi @AnitaK 

 

Thanks for your post. If you've overpaid an employee you can make an adjustment on their next pay so they're paid less (to counter the overpayment).

• Reduce the Hours or Amount as required for the pay item that was overpaid.
• You can also use the Pay slip message field on the employee's pay to enter a note about this payment.

With STP, your employees' year to date (YTD) figures are sent to the ATO after each pay run. So if changing an employee's pay affects their YTD figures, the updated figures will be sent to the ATO the next time you do a pay run.
