Correct Under Withheld Payroll Tax on Single Employee

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Employee has multiple pay codes assigned to employee card. The employees total wages were assigned to pay code PRDIEM that has no payroll taxes assigned. The employees wages need to be reassigned to a taxed pay code DRIVE to record futa, suta, fica. How can I correct the erroneous pay runs using only PRDIEM code and enter properly using DRIVE pay code and PRDIEM paycode. Errors only occurred for a few pay runs. 

Would a possible solution be to use the payroll manual check transaction entry window to create a negative manual check with pay code PR DIEM (with specific pay run dates). Then create a second one manual check for the same amount using pay code DRIVE so that the proper payroll taxes are being deducted. 

Thank You,

    Hi Austin,

    Why not just void the bad paycheck and recreate on with the right pay code? Has the employee cashed the check? If yes, you have a different problem. You'll need to withhold extra from his next paycheck to make up for the shortage. In that case, I would consider voiding the under withheld paycheck and then enter the check he got as an 'advance' pay run so that no taxes are withheld. I would then run a check to 'pay' the advance along with the next check so that I could withhold extra tax from it.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie
