Employee Deduction - Overpayment

Hi everyone,

Needing assistance regarding overpayment from an employee to the business.

 

We purchased a power tool kit for an employee and he was paying $100 a week with a deduction set up in payroll. As this payment plan went over in the new financial year the calculation of YTD started over at zero. Our employee has currently paid back too much for the kit and I need to pay him back. How can I include the pay back in his next pay. Many thanks

    Hi SHELBY1,

     

    To handle the exceeded deductions for the power tools, you can create a separate wage pay item that does not accumulate superannuation to account for it. Alternatively, you can create a spend money transaction, match it to pay the employee, and then match it with the bank feed. Also, I recommend seeking advice from an accountant on taxing this. 

     

    Let us know if you need any other help.

     

    Thanks,
