Re-instated employee - entitlements incorrect

We had an employee leave in October 2022 only to return in January 2023. I re-instated his card file and noticed there was a balance under Entitlements, so did a negative to get the balance to zero. The total seems to be correct, however when i print the 'Balance Summary' report, the hours are completly different.

 

I read some older posts regarding the same issue. One of the comments was needing to send the file off for repair? My query is, is there an issue if I leave the file as is (employee will be leaving again in a month)? And if it does need fixing, how do i go about getting this done?

 

Thanks,

Lea

    Thank you for your post.

     

    Check if there's a Difference shown on the Entitlement Balance (Detail) report. That means there's a difference between the entitlement balance from pay runs and the Pay History on the employee's card. This usually happens if the entitlement value has been manually changed in the employee's Pay History.

    To identify the month where this may have occurred, run the Entitlement Balance (Detail) report for the current month, then progressively run the report for the previous month until the Difference shows 0.00. You can then display the employee's Pay History for that month and correct the difference. 

    If your employee is leaving again after a month, you may process a Final Pay again.
