Overpayment of wages, how to?

Hi,

 

We have processed an overpayment of wages. How do I correct this?
Can I simply enter a neagtive amount against the over-paid payroll code, and the system will calculate the correct taxes and KiwiSaver amounts? (pls say yes).

Or do I need to manualy adjust taxes, kiwisaver, etc.?

 

We are using desktop version 2024.2 (not essentials)

 

Thx.

  • Hi Bullswool 

    In the desktop MYOB Payroll - you can do a reversal pay - but sorry no the tax and kiwisaver will not calculate.

    You would be better to reverse the whole pay, then re-do another separate run to work out the correct amount. Don't forget to edit the payday filing manually. The IRD doesn't accept negative amounts either.
