How do I add carer's leave to a previous pay run?

Hello robinsa2,

Thanks for posting in the Community!

You can unlock and refinalise the pay run if you have not processed any automated super payments to add the career's leave. Here's how to unlock a pay run:

1. Click on the Payroll tab.
2. Click on Pay Runs and select the pay run to edit.
3. Click on Pay Run Actions and choose Unlock.
4. Enter a Comment about why you're unlocking the pay run and then select Unlock.

Once done, locate the employee's name and click on it to show her Earnings section. Then, click on Actions and add Take Leave. And under Leave taken select the leave category you wanted to pay the employee and enter Units or Hours. And click on Save.

Then, create an updated pay event to update employee's year to date figures. Here's how:

1. Click on the Payroll tab.
2. Click on Reports and locate Single Touch Payroll.
3. Click on Create update event.
4. Select the Financial year and the Pay schedule then click on Create.

The employee's and their year to date will show in the current page.

If on the event you have paid super payments for this pay run, you can create an ad hoc pay run for the same pay period. Check this link to learn more about: Create an ad hoc or off-cycle pay run in QuickBooks Payroll.
