I paid an employee to much, he cashed the check. How do I make an adjustment since he refunded us the difference.

Hi there, dawn@buckmotorsp.

Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community. I'll ensure you can make an adjustment or correct the employee's paycheck for the overpayment.

Sometimes, employees get overpaid which results in an incorrect amount on their gross pay. Since the employee already refunded the difference, you can void the paycheck and recreate it with the correct amount. Please know that the process depends on processing times.

Here's how to delete or void:

1. Go to the Payroll menu at the left panel and choose Employees.
2. Select Paycheck list.
3. Choose the paycheck(s) you'd like to delete or void. Then, select Delete or Void.
4. Click Yes to confirm.

Once done, you can now follow the steps below on how you can recreate the check with accurate details.

1. Go to the Payroll menu and choose the Employees section.
2. Select Run Payroll. Then, you may choose your desired schedule and click Continue.
3. Select or review the QuickBooks Bank account to track your payroll, the Pay period, and the Pay date.
4. Select the employees you'd like to pay.
5. Enter hours, compensation, memos, or any other necessary paycheck info.
6. Select Preview payroll and choose Finish payroll.

However, if you're unable to perform the steps mentioned above, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Payroll Support Team. They have the tools to pull up your account in a secure environment and help you correct your employee wages.
