Follow these adjustment steps when there is no tax implication and the Net Pay is zero.
A Manual Calculation is required to move the values (and hours). Review the current Period End Date first and adjust if required.
To perform the Manual Calculation adjustment:
Go to Payroll, Transactions, Processing, Manual Calculation.
Select the Employee.
Ensure that Add has been selected.
From Pay Calculation, select Value and untick Generate Payment.
In Pay Summary, select the component that needs to be reversed e.g. Normal Hours.
Enter a minus sign, then the number of Hours that need to be reversed and any other information (dates, leave reason, etc). If a second row is created, you may need to delete it.
In Pay Summary, choose the component that should have been paid ie. Sick Leave.
Enter the same number of Hours and other information (leave reason, dates, etc). The Value should be the same as the reversed component. Again, if a second row is created, you may need to delete it.
The Net Pay should be zero. Click Process to complete the pay.
This method can also be used if there is a positive Net Pay (e.g., reversing Normal Hours for Annual Leave where the employee is entitled to Leave Loading). However, the Tax will need to be added manually. The value of the tax is the amount paid on the additional earnings. Tick Generate Payment if you want to include the Net Pay in an EFT file.
