Refund employee health insurance deduction

I'm here to help you refund an employee's health deduction, lilavalv.

You can create a payroll adjustment, then submit a reimbursement check to refund your employee. 

I'll guide you through how to create a reimbursement payroll item to track and account for your employee's health insurance deductions. Then, assign the item to your employee's record.

2. Choose the Payroll Item List.
3. Click the Payroll Item button, and choose New.
4. Select Custom Setup, and click Next.
5. Pick Addition from the item type list and click Next.
6. Choose an expense account. This allows you to set up an account to track the money you owe the employee for reimbursements.
7. Set Tax Tracking to None and click Next. 
8. Select the option to Calculate on Net Pay and click Next.
9.  Enter the default rate and click Next.

Once completed, you can assign the reimbursement payroll item to the employee's record under the earnings column.

2. Choose the Employee Center.
