YTD Verification Report not matching Payroll Summary

In December we had an employee that was on jury duty and received payment for doing so. Upon returning to work we processed his next pay with his normal salary but 'adjusted' this pay to exclude the amount he received from jury duty. The way we processed this is in attachment. After running the YTD Verification Report the figure for 'Total salary & wages as per payroll summary' does not match our Payroll Summary/Register report for the FY with the Total salary on the YTD report being $720 more (matching the adjusted amount on the employee's payslip). Furthermore, the way it stands now the employee's Payroll Summary report for the FY also states $720 more in gross wages than what is on the company payroll summary report.

 

Do I need to reverse the employees payslip from this period and reprocess by taking the $720 off his Base Hourly amount and not as I have initially as an 'adjust salary' amount to correct this and for the YTD report and payroll summary report to match?

    Hi PGAJC,

     

    Thanks for giving me the details and screenshots, they really helped paint the picture! When fixing payroll stuff, the golden rule is always to reverse the original pay slip and reprocess it. For your case, yes, you’ll need to reverse that particular pay run and reprocess it, but make sure to shave off the $720 directly from the employee’s Base Hourly amount. Once you’ve done that, hop over to your Payroll Activity Report and Payroll Register to make sure everything lines up nicely with your EOFY YTD Verification Report. If you’ve got more questions about handling jury payments, check out this handy link to help out.
