How to adjust payroll in Sage 50 Accounting.

Resolution

Adjust fields that don’t affect the net amount of the check (memo fields, company-paid taxes, etc.)

 NOTE: Adjustments made to company-paid taxes won’t affect the net amount of the check. 

  1. Select Lists, Employees & Payroll, Paychecks.
  2. Find and double-click to open the paycheck you need to edit.
  3. Make the adjustments.
  4. Click Save.

Adjust fields that do affect the net amount of the check, and the check hasn’t been issued

  1. Select Lists, Employees & Payroll, Paychecks.
  2. Find and double-click to open the paycheck you need to edit.
  3. Click Delete.
  4. Recreate the paycheck with the correct dollar amounts in the fields in question.
  5. Print the check.
 NOTE: If you have already issued the check, and cannot get it back from the employee, you will not be able to edit the paycheck. Instead, adjust the fields in question on a future paycheck. Alternatively, if you need to make an adjustment because too much was withheld from an employee field, create a supplementary paycheck. Enter the refund amount in the appropriate field, with no salary amount included.
