Make corrections to your payroll

Created on  | Last modified on 

Summary

Use the Period Rewind option to make corrections to your current pay period in Sage 50 Payroll Ireland.

Resolution

If you find an error after posting your End of Period (EOP) values, rewind the period to fix it. For example, if you saved a timesheet by mistake or overpaid an employee, rewind the period, correct it, and post your EOP again.

In this guide, we explain how to correct errors in the current pay period only. If you need to correct a previous period or a previous tax year, use one of the following:

Rewind the end of period process

  1. Select Processing, then Period Rewind.
    TIP: If you haven't posted the EOP values for the current period yet, this option isn't available. 
  2. Select OK to rewind the last posting.
  3. Check the payroll status at the bottom of your window.
    Status shows Time and Pay Calculated or Start of Period if no pay.
  4. Make your changes.

Post the end of period values

  1. Select Processing, then End Of Period. 
    TIP: If you've already posted the EOP values for the current period, this option isn't available. 
  2. Select OK to post calculation results.

Submit the amendments to Revenue

If you make changes after sending your payroll submission, resend a payroll submission to Revenue. This replaces the original data with the correct figures.

If you adjust an expense payment after submitting the period, resend an Enhanced Reporting submission to update Revenue.
