How to correct incorrect union dues withheld on prior employee paycheck

Hi, how do I correct a couple of previous direct deposit paychecks that mistakenly had union dues withheld, but shouldn't have?  They normally have dues withheld, but these two paychecks should not have.

 

I'll need to issue the employee an additional paycheck for the union dues that were withheld, but how do I make sure the taxes paid on that income and union dues payable account are all correct?  Can I issue the corrected amount on their next regular paycheck or is it better to issue one or two separate paychecks for the 2 previous incorrect paycheck amounts?

 

How do I correct this?
