How to do a Year do date (YTD) correction?
Description

In this article we will guide you through the process of correcting 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 Information and select the employee for whom you would like to do corrections
  • The payslip has an Earnings, Deduction and Company Contribution Tab.
  • Depending on whether it is an Earning or Deduction or Company Contribution, click on the relevant tab.
  • Locate the line for which you need to make the adjustment
  • If 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 that which was deducted from the employee so that when you roll into the new pay period, the system will recalculate accordingly
  • Retirement Funds and Reimbursive Travel have their own unique steps.

NOTE: YTD corrections should always be done AFTER an employee has been paid 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.
