Pay run - incorrect allocation of $ to paid public holiday instead of paid annual leave

Question

An employee was incorrectly paid for 2 days of public holiday when the leave should have been recorded as annual leave.  The leave taken did not fall on a public holiday.

The employee was paid the correct amount overall, so there is no overpayment or underpayment.  The issues is that the leave $ was allocated to the wrong payroll category which also results in incorrect leave balances and payroll reporting.

The pay run has already been processed and reported through STP.

Please advise how to:

Reallocate the 2 days from Public Holiday to Annual Leave.

Correct the employee's leave balance.

Ensure payroll records and STP reporting remain accurate.

Thank you.

Hi

Just do another pay run, just for that individual, for the same date, same pay period, and just put negative 2 days in Public Holiday box and 2 days in the Annual Leave box.

The pay should be zero, entitlements accrual should be zero and super zero.

This will fix the allocation to the correct payroll categories.

Hope this helps
