Question

Voided direct deposit payroll after paid

My payroll person ran a payroll, but one employee A's paycheck was direct deposited to employee B's account. Employee A's payroll check was voided and rerun to deposit into the correct their account. Employee B gave the organization a cashier's check to return the funds. How do I record the deposit? The system won't let me use Employee B's name as a payor and I don't want to create a vendor account. Also, what account would I credit when I debit the deposit to my bank account?

Hi there, @Heather DC.

 

Voiding a paycheck updates your paycheck dollar amount to zero. The system will automatically recalculate your taxes owed and make any necessary adjustments. Thus, you no longer need to record a deposit for the returned amount by Employee B.

 

Aside from collecting the money back from your employee, another way to recover the funds is by requesting a direct deposit reversal

So, QB has already debited my bank account...how do I balance that with the deposit that includes multiple items? Just adjust the deposit amount?
