How to match/categorise a repayment into my bank feed for return of a duplicate wages payment to an employee.

My employee had been paid their wages twice. The pay run is correct, it's just that the ABA was used twice to transferred the funds to them. The employee then chose to return the over payment back into our bank account rather than use it for their next pay. I have an unmatched/uncategorised transaction in our bank feed and don't know what to categorise it as.

  • Hi BWA1,

     

    That’s a great question! Accidentally paying an employee twice can happen from time to time, but it’s definitely manageable. Since your employee has returned the extra payment, you’ll want to record it as a receive money transaction. Once you’ve done that, you can match this transaction with the corresponding amount in your bank feed. I came across a really handy forum post with some detailed steps about handling overpayments, which sounds just like your situation. It should clear things up and get everything reconciled.
