How to create a correction when I need to adjust an old payslip?

Written by Lucas Schakel

This article only applies to employees that already have been paid. Not if you still need to pay an initial salary of someone from a previous month that you wanted to pay later.

Did you pay someone already, but something is wrong with their payslip? In that case the system can create a correction for you to pay out the additional salary or withhold salary on the next payslip of the employee.

How to correct the number of hours that have been paid out for an on-call

Go to the profile of an employee > 'Worked hours & days' section.

Click on the hours or days you want to correct for a certain month, update the value with the new number of hours of days.

Go to Pay > location > current month. Notice a correction payslip has showed up. If it's additional salary to pay out, you can pay it out right away. If you have to ask money back from an employee we recommend not to batch it yet, but batch it in the same payment batch as the next payslip of this employee. This way the negative amount will automatically be withheld from their next salary.
