My payroll for my apprentice - who is now on part time some weeks, some weeks when he's on less keeps adding the stoppages for tax etc onto his gross instead of deducting

Hello Jeff Shaughnessy,

You may have added the stoppages as an additional pay. Let's check the payroll item and check to see why the deductions are added to your employee's pay rather than deducting it.

Let me guide you with these steps:

1. Click the Payroll tab.
2. Select the employee's name.
3. Locate the item to where you entered it either on the Deductions or Added pay tab.
4. Make changes if necessary.

I've also added this link as your additional resources in managing employee taxes: QuickBooks Online Payroll Hub.

I'll be around whenever help is needed about payroll. I've got your back!
