How to adjust payroll figures using the History screen
Description

Year-to-date (YTD) corrections don't always resolve incorrect payroll values. In such cases, you can adjust values in the original month using the History screen. You can only make adjustments for months within the current tax year.

Resolution

Step 1- Access the History screen 

  1. From the main company screen, go to Payroll and select Payslip Information.
  2. Select the employee whose values you need to change.
  3. On the Payslip screen, click the HS button.

 Step 2 - Locate and adjust the value 

  1. Find the period or month containing the value to change.
    • You can adjust any month in the current tax year before the current processing month
  2. Double-click the block under the relevant month for the item you want to change.
  3. Enter the new value.
  4. Click Save on the HS screen when done.

Example:
If your March salary shows R11,761.20 but should be R15,000, update the value in the March column.

Step 3 - Apply changes for multiple items or employees 

  • You can adjust multiple items for one employee at a time
  • Repeat the process for other employees if needed

Important:

  • Adjustments affecting Tax, Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF), or Skills Development Levy (SDL) will recalculate these values in the current period
  • If you have already paid SARS for the current period, you must restate your EMP201
