STP verification not matching Payroll Activity

An employee was overpaid personal leave so has agreed to have a figure withheld each week from their wage until recovered. We just process this as a Gross Payments category and do -$40 per payrun. So far for the FY it totals -$120.

The Activity Summary report  shows the Gross salary and wages $49,803.15 but the STP gross wages shows $49,923.15. Difference of $120. 

Are we processing something wrong?

    Hi dgzalex

     

    I understand how important it is to have accurate reports. It’s best to treat the overpayment as an advanced payment and create a deduction to balance out the values, rather than including it in wages, as that will affect the gross payment. I recommend reading through the article "Deductions" to learn more about the process.

     

    Feel free to create a new thread if you need any other help.

     

    Thanks,
