How can I correct workers compensation on a previously issued check?

Correct the workers' comp setup and then void and reissue the check:

1. Verify the workers compensation setup and make any necessary corrections.
2. Void the check, use all original dates and retain as new. For steps on how to void Payroll checks, see How do I void a Payroll check or direct deposit?
3. Using Enter Checks, add or verify the WC state and WC code to each line of time (click the Detail button),
4. Process in Enter Checks.
5. Verify Check amounts in Chk Info.
   Note:If the check has already been issued to the employee follow the steps in How do I correct a payroll check with incorrect earnings when I have already paid the employee? to correct the net pay to match the originally issued check.
6. Re-issue the check.
   Note: Typically, the original check number is used when you re-issue the check.

If you have many checks that were processed with the wrong workers' comp setup, you can have the reports modified to reflect the correct Workers' compensation basis, rate, or amount. Contact your certified Sage channel partner for more information.
