Payroll Summary does not balance with Payroll Activity
Hi
I have just been reading a couple of the past posts but didn't really get a definitive answer on to whether to manually adjust the payroll history or not.
Our Payroll Activity & Payroll Summary do not balance and this is because of 1 person who was permanent with us terminated then came back as a casual. We used the same card (not a good idea) so when he came back as a casual the payroll officer unticked any entitlements. This employee was paid sick leave and annual leave prior to leaving as a permanent. Since the entilements were deleted when he came back it also deleted that he had been paid for these for this year. Giving his entitlements back has not fixed the problem.
What I need to know is can I manually adjust these in history or should I just leave the difference there and note it on reports. I have been using STP all year will this affect the report.
Thanks
Lisa
Hi Webb1
If you run the General Ledger report for the wages expense account does it reconcile with the Payroll Activity Report? Do the totals in these two reports include the missing days? If so I think someone has already changed his pay history in his card and removed those payments. I’m assuming that you can still see that payroll transaction.
If you are absolutely sure that the payroll activity and general ledger reports are correct, try adding those amounts back into his pay history. I’d do a backup and print his pay history screen or use the snipping tool to get a screenshot prior to making any changes so that if it doesn’t work you can change it back.
Let me know how you go
