The following article explain you how to run an Adjustment pay run.
As an example scenario for this article, an employee was short paid during their last weeks payrun. Physical payment has been made, so now we have to correct this via an adjustment run. We have manually calculated the extra pay and Tax the employee should have received and will now process an adjustment run to correct this.
Adjustment runs can also be used for:
- Over payments.
- Paid Parental Leave.
Note: As a general rule of thumb, if the employee has not been physically paid, you can roll back the standard pay run and rerun it. However if physical payment has been made to the employee then an adjustment run should be performed.
The below steps have been performed using JCurve Payroll Admin role.
