| | What are Pay run corrections? |
| Description | When you complete a pay run and send the details to Revenue, this confirms that your employees have been paid the amount entered from that pay run.
When you change a completed pay run, the updated details are included in your next Full Payment Submission (FPS) and a correction shows on the active pay run. Here we explain more about what creates these corrections and how to check that it is correct. |
| Resolution | You'll see a correction on your current pay run when you: - Change the amount being paid to employee
- Add an absence for a previous period
The change could result in a payment or a deduction on your current pay run. A payment is made when your employee's pay was increased. A deduction is made when an employee's pay is reduced. We recommend that you keep saved copies of your reports to compare the employees’ net pay and find the period that was changed. When you save a report, it is not updated when changes are made to a pay run. However, as soon as you rerun the report, it will show the updated amounts. We recommend you export and save a copy of each report listed below when you complete each pay run: - Detailed report
- Payslip summary
- Employee net pay
In the example below we will use the detailed report as this shows payments, deductions, and Employee Net Pay. - Open the saved report you have for the most recent pay period.
- Re-run the report for the same period by selecting Pay Runs then select the pay run you want to report on.
- Select Open the detailed report.
- Compare the net pay on both copies of your reports.
If the net pay does not match exactly, this is the period where the change was made. 
 NOTE: You may need to compare the reports for each period until you find the difference.

Check your bank transactions to confirm whether you paid the corrected amount to the employee or whether you need to update their pay in the current pay run. There may be times when you need to reverse a correction. For example, if the employee has already received the correct payment or if you edited a previous pay run and need to change it back. You must then add a business expense or net deduction, this is known as reversing a correction. Entering the pay in this way ensures the reversal is not subject to tax and PRSI. Read more: If the employee originally received the wrong amount, the correction shows any adjustments needed in the current pay run. The correction is added for you, to ensure the employee gets the right Net pay this period. If you know the values you've processed are not correct and need to change after you've completed a pay run, you need to edit the previous pay run. This will result in a correction appearing in the current pay run. Read more about how to edit a completed pay run.
