Notice
This feature is currently available on plans with ePay activated. Additional fees will apply for corrections / reversals. If you want to sign up for ePay to gain access to this service you can follow the link HERE.
Prior to finalizing a pay run, you can go back at any stage to make fixes, correct errors or adjust figures. After a pay run is finalized, however, this is considered a committed transaction and should not be modified.
In some cases, you may need to modify a finalized pay run. The undo and reverse features allow you to make changes when needed.
How to undo a pay run
A. Navigate to Reports
B. Select Pay Run
C. Then Pay Run History
D. Select Reverse for the pay run you wish to modify.
You'll be prompted to either undo the entire run or select the employees you'd like to modify.
If any employees in this pay run have been terminated, you will need to Undo or Rehire the employee. You will need to do this even if the terminated employee(s) are not ones to be reversed.
