Hi LeeQ,

 

Thanks for your reply. 

 

Which categories were used in this pay run? Just Base Hourly? Were there any allowances that may be exempt from tax? 

 

I would advise checking each of this employee's wage categories to see if any are exempt from tax (and if that needs correcting).

 

Let me know how you go.
