How do you adjust payroll when an employee has a day or half day sick and requires a deduction in pay?

    Hi Hilary,

     

    Thanks for confirming - if you haven't already, you can create a leave category for the sick pay and then add this when running the payroll by clicking into the employee and selecting Actions > Take leave.

     

     

    If you're not looking to track this as leave and simply want to make a deduction to the pay, you could create a deduction category instead (Payroll settings > Deduction Categories > Add), which you can then add when running the payroll by selecting Actions > Make a deduction - this will add a deduction line where you can select the appropriate deduction category and enter the amount to deduct.
