Make corrections to a previous pay period
Description
Cause
Resolution

In this guide, we explain how to make corrections to a previous pay period in the current tax year. We also have the following guides:

If you overpaid an employee 

Avoid manual adjustments. Correct the overpayment in the next pay run.

EXAMPLE:

An employee normally earns €500 a week. In week one, they were off sick for one day, and were due €400 from you. Because payroll wasn’t ready in time, you paid them €500.

To fix it, reduce their gross pay by €100 in week two, bringing it to €400, the correct amount for that week.

If you underpaid an employee

Don’t use manual adjustments. Correct the underpayment in the next pay run.

EXAMPLE:

An employee normally earns €500 a week. In week one, they worked overtime worth €100, but you paid them €500.

In week two, increase their gross pay to €600 to include the missed €100.

If an employee left in a previous period

If you paid an employee correctly but they have since left, update their record in the current period.

  1. Go to Processing, then select Time and Pay.
  2. Under Entry mode, select Random, then Continue.
  3. Next to Employee, select Browse, then choose the employee.
  4. In the Leaving/Suspend drop-down, select Leaving.
  5. Select the No Pay Due to zero out their payslip.
  6. In Date, update the employee's finish date.
  7. Select Save, then Cancel.

When you send your next submission, Revenue receives the leaver update automatically.

Incorrect details on a submission

If you change payroll details after a submission, resend the payroll submission to Revenue so they have the correct information. The new submission replaces the original details automatically.
