How do I delete a payment or deduction?

Description

Cause

Resolution

You can’t permanently delete payments and deductions in Payroll, but you can remove them from an employees' pay.

▼Remove in Standard pay run

Process your payroll until you get to the PAY window.
Select the employee.
Select the Discard button next to the holiday payment.
NOTE: This only removes the payment from the employee. The payment will still be available to use in the future.
Complete the pay run as normal.

NOTE: Adjust the employees normal pay to take into account that they’re no longer on holiday.

▼Remove in Enhanced pay run

Select Summary from the menu bar.
Then Process pay run.
Select the employee.
Select the Discard button next to the holiday payment.
NOTE: This only removes the payment from the employee. The payment will still be available to use in the future.
Select Apply and close.

NOTE: Adjust the employees normal pay to take into account that they’re no longer on holiday.
