How to deduct overpaid hours in payroll

Good day, @rheumatologyqb-g.

I'm here to help you fix these overpaid hours for your employees in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

QuickBooks allows us to delete or void paychecks. When voiding a paycheck, this modifies your pay records and updates the dollar amount of your pay to zero. Adjustments might be necessary to balance your books, and don't prevent a direct deposit from going through and do not return funds to you. Moreover, we can also delete them if the paycheck hasn't been processed yet.

Here's how:

1. Go to Payroll, then Employees.
2. Select Paycheck list.
3. Select the paycheck(s) you'd like to delete or void, then select Delete or Void.
4. Select Yes.

Then, recreate a new one by referring to this article to guide you through the steps to create your paychecks and send them to us for processing payroll taxes and direct deposits in QuickBooks Online Payroll: Create and run your payroll.

Additionally, you can add a deduction item to an upcoming paycheck to offset any overpayments. Check out this article: Reduce paycheck wages for an employee who has been overpaid.

I've included this page for your great resources for creating a pay schedule: Set up and manage payroll schedules.
