Missed pay run payment but put through MYOB and sent to IRD

In April I processed a payrun in MYOB and submitted the info to IRD. When did a bank reconciliation yesterday I found the I hadn't paid the employee into their account. ( I think I'd thought I'd done it but got distracted with a customer).

What is the best step to correct this as IRD have taken this employees paye for that pay.

Even if I delete the pay in MYOB and do it today the date will show in this month and also sumbit another paye (effectively a double up). Do I need to delete the pay in IRD and leave the paye as a credit?

    Hi RUNCO,

     

    If you’ve done the pay run in MYOB and filed with IRD then forgot to actually pay your employee (even though PAYE went through), just pay them now using the original pay run details. No need to delete or amend the pay run if the amounts were correct, the payment timing doesn’t affect IRD or MYOB records. Let your employee know about the delay, and make sure your internal records show when you make the payment. Only redo the pay run if the original figures were wrong. If you’ve got compliance worries, check with IRD, but usually late payment to staff isn’t a problem as long as the right info was submitted.

     

     

    Cheers,

    Thanks for your reply Shella. The amounts are the same, the only problem is that the pay will show on this months bank feed. Would I just allocate it to that pay run from April?

    Hi RUNCO

     

    No worries if your bank feed is dated this month but your pay run is from April. You can still match the transactions just the same and it wont have any issues.
