Step 2. Reverse Any Incorrect Payments From the Previous Payroll (Optional)...Continued
What do I do once I get there?
Put a Stop Payment on the incorrect payment.
Select the employee whose payment was incorrect from the Employee List on the left-hand side of the screen.
Enter all the amounts used to create the original payment on this screen, but as NEGATIVE numbers. (e.g. If a Lump Payment amount was originally entered as $1,210.00 you would enter -1210.00 into that field.)
Click the Display Results button. A Warning message will tell you whether or not the entry is balanced and can be saved.
An entry is balanced if the amount in the "Gross Pay" field equals the amount in the "Total Deductions (including Net Pay)" field. It may be out of balance if you entered one of the amounts from the original cheque incorrectly.
If the message says you may save, click the Save button. lf not, use online help to adjust your entries and, once again, click the Display Results button.
Repeat this procedure for every employee whose previous payment was incorrect.
