payroll

Employee overpaid on 10/2/22. Pay of 17/2/22 I deducted overpayment - $116.87 adjusted tax etc.

Coded the overpayment deduction as wages and salaries. Wages balanced. However now my Payroll Activity and P&L both for the Feb month, and the YTD differ by this $116.87. The P & L is less than the payroll activity by $116.87.

I am not sure what I have done, nor how to fix.  I'm thinking the o'pmt deduction should have been coded differently? I know it's probably something simple i'm missing but i've been on it for hours now. 

Really looking forward to some help, thanks heaps.

    Hi Debbie

     

    You have two pays 10/2 - correctly entered but employee overpaid  $116.87

     

    17/2/ payrun you adjusted the overpayment

     

    but how did you code the overpayment made on the 10/2 payrun ?- It needs to be coded in the same way as your overpayment correction - that should  fix your issue. Your employees ytd balances  won't be correct either.

     

    If you made the correction in the 17/2 payrun you should also have changed the 10/2 payroll to reflect the overpayment then wages will balance.

     

    Hope this helps

    Going forward using the bankfile creation helps to eliminate these issues

    Thanks so much Lisa. Sorry for late reply, have gone over this for days. The o'payment was simply too much overtime paid -10/2 - gross payments. The second pay was not so much an adjustment, as a deduction of the amount, wrongly coded to wages, instead of coded to a deduction. You see she did receive the corrct gross wages - correct figure, and the tax was corrected for the deduction pay -17/2.  The P&L disagreed purely because of my incorrect coding. The mismatch was not in STP just in Myob. So I corrected coding, redid the pay, reversed the wrong pay. As the entire pay had already gone to ATO and figures were correct, I only corrected in Myob and did not send to ato. Redid all reprts and rechecked figures, especially hers. thank you so much for helping. Debbie g
