How to do a YTD correction
Description

This is guidance to correct financial figures for an employee by making Year-to-Date corrections on the payslip

Cause
Resolution
  • From the main screen of the company, go to Payroll>Payslip Screen and select the employee in question
  • The payslip has an Earnings, Deduction and Company Contribution Tab
  • Depending on whether it is an Earning or Deduction or Company Contribution, click the relevant tab
  • Locate the line for which you need to make the adjustment
  • If there is an earning or company contribution, process a negative amount to reduce the YTD value or a positive value to increase the YTD value
  • If a deduction, a negative amount will reduce the deduction and a positive amount will increase the deduction
  • After doing the correction, force the PAYE to be the same as the previous value so that when you roll into the new pay period, the system recalculates accordingly
  • Retirement Funds and Reimbursing Travel have their own unique steps

NOTE: YTD corrections must always be done AFTER a payment is processed as you do not want to provide the employee with a payslip displaying the correction. If you are doing the corrections after you have paid SARS, remember to restate your EMP201.
