Hi&nbsp;JBK7&nbsp;
&nbsp;
This adjustment will need to be made in payroll as only payroll updates the employees pay history and thus the reports to the ATO.
&nbsp;
If the net pay was zero, AccountRight would prompt for this to be a void pay. A void pay is simply a zero dollar net pay, all of the figures on the pay still carry through to the pay history of that employee

Hi&nbsp;JBK7&nbsp;
&nbsp;
If you had paid on the wrong payroll category, as long as the amounts were the same then you could do an adjusting pay where the incorrect payroll category has a negative number of hours and a positive number of hours against the correct payroll category.
&nbsp;
This will fix up the year to date figures so the next time you report to the ATO the figures will be correct

Hi Neil&nbsp;Thankyou for your reply.&nbsp;I did try this but I got the message " do you want to void this pay" due to the zero balance because the amounts are the same.&nbsp; Do you mean for me to make this adjustment elsewhere? ie not in payroll??
