Jury Duty - processing the refund

Hi

Still struggling with this.

Why would I want reduce the employees pay?  The employee has received their usual pay for the period as juror paid in full by our business and the employee has received no payment direct from the court.  A full refund has been received direct to our business account in lieu of the amount paid via wages/payroll to the employee.

It is this court refund to the business that I am unsure of how/where to allocate?  I assume my total wages for the year should not include this amount as it has been refunded and so not expensed by the business.

I don't want to affect the employee's wage and super totals received by deducting the amount refunded?

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Kate
