Hi Mathilda,
Thank you for your post.
Regarding the wages paid on the 21st, it seems like the total amount of $13,151.60 isn't reflected correctly in your bank account balance. We'll need to investigate why this discrepancy exists. It's possible that there might be missing or duplicate transactions causing the imbalance. The first thing you should check is the linked account within the transactions. You can recap the transactions to see the linked account.
As for the separate payment of $937.92 to "Debra," it is indeed puzzling, especially if her wage was already included in the total wage amount paid. It's essential to figure out why this entry appears separately on your MYOB bank statement. Reversing the transaction as per payroll reporting requirements is necessary. However, you need to ensure that this will not affect your payroll reports.
For more information, please check Fixing out-of-balance bank reconciliations.
Feel free to respond if you need further assistance.
Cheers,

Hi Princess_R
Thanks for your reply. Okay I have no idea how to do the recapping from what I've read on your link as it gives examples on sales and purchases. I need more time to investigate the "linked account" issue.
Secondly, I've looked at my payroll reporting centre and that single transaction for "Debra" was not reported and accepted (screen shot attached) - only the combined payroll for the day. Does that mean I can delete the single pay or must it still be reversed?
Hi Princess_R
I managed to get the recap of that transaction of the wages that I am out of balance with. Does the result of it (attached) show any reason for not balancing?
