Training Tidbit: How do I make a one-time adjustment to an employee’s deduction or tax?

To make a one-time adjustment to an employee’s tax or deduction, enter a deduction/tax adjustment (Payroll screen, Data Entry menu, Deduction/Tax Adjustments) to add to (or subtract from) or replace the amount specified in the Employee File, and then include that batch of adjustments in your next payroll cycle.  By completing a deduction/tax adjustment for the one-time change, the amount entered in the Employee File for the particular deduction does not have to be altered before and after completing a check cycle.

For step-by-step instructions on entering deduction/tax adjustments, see the Entering Deduction/Tax Adjustments topic in the Help File.  Also, there are several samples included in the Help File noting scenarios and the specific steps for completing the appropriate adjustments (i.e. added a new employee but forgot to add the retirement deduction to their file); to review the samples, refer to the Sample Deduction/Tax Adjustments topic in the Help File.
