How to refund employees for over withholding of WA L&I

I just realized that QB has been calculating our WA L&I on all hours worked, even when employees had sick, vacation or holiday hours in the pay period. We have multiple codes for employees so the tracking is set to 'none'.  The good news is that Washington Labor and Industries was not overpaid when we filed the quarterly taxes. Bad news is I need to refund my company and my employees for the amounts over withheld for the past 6 months but I'm not sure of the correct way to do it. The over withheld monies are in the L&I payroll liability accounts but I can't find a way to make a refund from those accounts. 

 

What is the proper way to handle this in QB? 

 

Thank you!
