How do I make History Screen Adjustments?
Description

Year to Date (YTD) Corrections are not always able to resolve incorrect payroll values and require you to adjust the values in the actual month by accessing the History (HS) Screen. The History Screen document explains which items cannot be adjusted via the History Screen. You can be in September and change April month’s values.

Cause
Resolution

Remove or adjust figures on the payroll for a previous period:

  • From the main screen of the company, go to Payroll > Payslip Information
  • Select the employee for whom you need to make changes
  • Once on the Payslip Screen, click on the HS button
  • Locate the period/month in which the value is that you need to change. You can only change values that fall within the current tax year, so that will be any month prior to the month you are in, going back as far as March.
  • For illustration purposes, let’s say you want to change the employee’s salary for the month of March. It currently reflects R11761.20 but you paid them R15 000.

    Before   

                                                           

After

  • Double click in the block under the month for the respective item you want to change and capture the new value. Click Save on the HS screen once done
  • Multiple items can be changed for an employee at a time
  • Proceed to the next employee should there be more than one employee to amend values for

    NOTE: If adjustments are made to items that will impact Tax, UIF and SDL, the Tax, UIF and SDL in the current processing period will recalculate. If you have already paid SARS for the current period, you will need to restate your EMP201
