Hi Nicole79,
Thank you for your post, and welcome to the community forum!
I can see that you have accidentally paid an incorrect amount of overtime. To resolve this, you should start a new pay run for the employee and enter the adjustment as a negative (-) amount in the Hours or Amount column of the category that was overpaid. Remember to zero out all the categories that you're not adjusting. The net pay amount should be equal to the overpayment, and shown as a negative amount.
If the employee has paid back an overpayment, or is intending to do so, we recommend processing a separate pay for the adjustment as described above. This lets you match the payment by the employee to the overpayment in your bank reconciliation.
