Pay was reduced by a deduction not a pay code - employee not working anymore

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I have a situation where the client mis-understood how to reduce a salary employee when they left 2 days before the end of the month.  Instead of entering a transaction for the salary paycode to reduce it - they entered a deduction for the amount - so the gross and taxable pay was not reduced.  They still owe this employee for 6.7 hours of PTO.  I entered a transaction for the 6.7 hours of PTO and a negative deduction for the amount erroneously deducted.  However, since they are not getting any additional salary I need to enter, somehow a reduction of salary, but I can't enter the reduced salary because it exceeds the salary amount.

What is the proper way to handle this?  The original check is posted and cashed through direct deposit.

The deduction is $217, the 6.7 hours only amounts to an additional $84 in pay.

This is urgent

    Not sure what your pay frequency is but have you tried to enter a salary reduction transaction line for the difference between the total number of hours for the pay period and 6.7? For example if biweekly frequency, you would enter a salary reduction line for 73. 3 hours.  Also would need to ensure you have the salary check box marked on the build screen.
