Hi MPNH,
To clear the negative amount in "Pay Liabilities," you can try reversing the payroll transaction that created the negative amount. This can be done by going to the payroll module and finding the specific transaction to reverse. After this, ensure that the returned payment is processed as a positive amount under salary packaging to adjust the employee's total. If the payment was made directly to the salary packaging company, record it under "Pay Liabilities" to tag it as paid. If you continue to have issues, you may need to consult with your accountant to assist you with the process.
Kind regards,

Thanks for the reply Shella. When the adjustment payrun was completed it was entered as a positive as normally salary sacrifice is processed as a deduction (negative). This makes it show as a negative in the payroll liabilities. The money was returned by the salary sacrifice company, we did not pay them.
