Wrong PAYG withhold with new employee
Hi
I have a new employee for her i have only two times run the payroll. first fornight she only worked for 6.25 hours and for second fornight she worked for 69.5 hours. First pay there was no tax withhold amount, but for second fortnight her gross pay was $2529.80 and YTD was $2757.30 only though her Payg withhold was $700 now she is complaining about her PAYG. I have double checked with her "Tax free Threshold" has ticked already. I don't know what was wrong with her Payg. Could you please help.
Thank you

Hi Sunflower
There is actually a direct topic on this situation on Help Article: Changing a recorded pay- To fix a pay with an incorrect PAYG amount.
In short, the recommendation would be to adjust the employee's next pay. This is done by when preparing their pays go into the arrow next to the employee's name so get the Pay Employee window. You would then override (manually edit) the PAYG Withholding amount to reduce (or increase) the amount of PAYG withholding is being calculated. Alternative, options are listed on that help article as well.
