How to edit a payroll
Once a payroll is approved, its values cannot be changed.
You will need to delete the entire payroll from history and run it again.
How to delete a payroll
Follow these steps:
Find a past payroll by clicking on "History" in the left nav
Click "Payroll History"
Use the search bar or adjust the date range to locate the payroll you want to adjust or delete
Click on the payroll item
Click "Delete"
YTD values in Payroll History
Once a payroll run is saved to history, none of its values will recalculate including year to date amounts. YTD values will be correct in new payroll runs and reports.
Think of payroll history as a receipt. If a payroll run gets deleted, only the new payrolls and reports will reflect the updated year-to-date amounts. History won't automatically update year-to-date values.
For example:
I run a payroll Monday then Tuesday. My Tuesday payroll has Monday's payroll in its YTD.
I delete Monday's payroll, Tuesday's payroll history still includes Monday's payroll in the YTD.
I run a new payroll or run a report, Monday's payroll isn't in the YTD.
To run a report that shows a breakdown of your current YTD please check this article.
