TIP: Ensure that you are in February (for year-end) or August (for bi-annuals) to correct this exception, if you are not, restore to the applicable period.

1. Go to Process, Payslip.
2. On the default tab, enter the code M203.
3. Do a Payroll Run for this employee to finalise the calculation.

Code M203 will auto-calculate to match the YTD total of code M103.  If after you have entered the code M203, you are still experiencing the exception, make a backup, and do a rebuild total.

NOTE: Adding in the code M203 can affect your PAYE, UIF, and SDL – so file for a correction if you have already done your monthly statutory payments and there are changes.

If your employee was terminated and your code M203 was either not processed or doesn’t match the YTD value of code M103, you will have 3 options to resolve this:

• You can restore to the last period this employee was still active, add in code R700. You will have to recapture all the information for the period between the period you restored and the period that you were in before restoring.
• A chargeable data fix can be done, email [email protected] to arrange this.
• You can exclude this employee from your electronic file, and create a manual certificate for them on E@syfile, however, we at Sage cannot assist you in creating manual certificates in E@syfile.
