In 2017 two pay cheques were issued to an employee.  The cheques were reversed by the bank at the time, but this only came to light now.  The cheques have been showing uncleared in our reconciliations since then.  The employee's T-4 for 2017 included those amounts, but the employee never received the monies.  How do we now pay the employee the net amounts without making any changes to payroll and also clear the old cheques from 2017.
