Adjustments Payroll Run Type

The Payroll Adjustment feature lets you make changes to a payroll that has already been processed. You can use this feature to adjust pay, withholdings, regular, overtime and secondary overtime pay hours, and accrued benefit hours.

This feature is useful when you need to:

• Correct your payroll database after overpaying or underpaying an employee, and then generate an adjustment.

• Enter payroll-based information that you have processed manually, apart from the Payroll application.

• Calculate and post adjustment payroll information at any time without processing an entire payroll.

Payroll Adjustments

If you are making a positive adjustment to a payroll record for which an employee has already been paid, refer to the original payment and process an adjustment for the additional amount, using the Payroll Adjustment feature in Payroll Processing. Payroll posts the applicable changes.

If you are making a negative adjustment to a payroll record for which an employee has already been paid, refer to the original payment and enter an adjustment to offset the overpayment amount, using the Payroll Adjustment feature in Payroll Processing. Payroll posts the applicable changes. However, you may have to record a receipt for the amount of the overpayment, depending on how your firm has configured Payroll to post to your bank.

Void a Payroll Payment

If you need to void a payroll payment, use the Void Payment Processing feature. When you void a payroll payment, Vision posts a voided payment amount to the General Ledger and reverses the effect of the original payroll posting. Voiding a payroll payment also reverses any withholdings, sick time, and accrued vacation time associated with the original payment.

Enter a Withholding

If you want any amounts withheld from the amount of the gross adjustment, you must enter the withholding data for the employee on the Employee Review tab of the Payroll Processing form, at the time of processing the adjustment. Specify the withholding adjustment as a fixed amount.

If you want to make an adjustment to a withholding but you do not want to modify gross pay, enter zero in the Gross Pay field on the Employee Review tab. You can then enter the withholding amount.
