This is similar to recording a regular pay, but you'll adjust the employee's pay as required.

1. Start a new pay run (Payroll menu > Create pay run). Need a refresher?
2. Adjust the employee's pay:
   1. Click the dropdown arrow Image Removed employee to open the employee's their pay.
   2. Enter or update hours or amounts as required. For example, if you're making up for an underpayment, increase their Salary or Ordinary hours as required.
   3. To add leave, click Add holidays or leave, choose the type of leave and enter the details. Learn more about paying leave.
   4. Click the arrow Image Removed to collapse the employee's pay.
3. Complete the pay run as normal. Need a refresher?

When you delete a pay it also deletes the associated pay slip and removes the pay from your payroll reports.

If you've already paid the employees and reconciled your bank account, deleting the pay can affect future bank reconciliations. Therefore, we'd recommend you unmatch or unreconcile the pay before deleting it.

1. Go to the Payroll menu and chose Pay runs.
2. Use the Payment from and Payment to filters to help find the pay run containing the pay you want to delete.
3. Click the pay run to see its details.

4. Click the name of the employee whose pay you want to delete.

5. Click Delete.
   At the confirmation, click Delete.
   

If you need to record a replacement pay, use the same pay period dates as the deleted pay. If unsure, check with your accounting advisor.

To delete all pays in a pay run

If you need to delete an entire pay run (all employee pays for a pay period), you'll need to delete the pay of each employee in the pay run as described above.

A common example is where an employee has been paid for regular hours worked but you need to change some of those hours to sick leave or annual leave.

You can fix this in the employee's next pay, or you can record a separate adjustment pay.

If you need to adjust an employee's leave balance, see Updating leave balances - NZ

If a pay you want to delete is included in an electronic payment transaction, you'll first need to delete the electronic payment transaction. Note that this only deletes the electronic payment transaction in MYOB but doesn't affect your actual bank accounts.

You can only delete an electronic payment if the associated bank file has not been uploaded to your bank for processing.

1. Go to the Banking menu and click Find transactions.
2. On the Debits and credits tab:
   1. Enter a date range that includes the pay date in the Date from and Date to fields.
   2. In the Account field, choose the Electronic Clearing Account.
3. Click the Reference no to open the pay transaction.
4. Click Delete.
5. At the confirmation message, click Delete. All the payments that were included in the electronic payment are now listed again on the Prepare electronic payments page.

You'll now be able to delete the pay. If required, you can also re-process the electronic payment to download a new bank file.

Add a note to the employee record about pay changes

Use the Notes field in an employee's record to add information about any changes you make to their pay (Payroll > Employees > click the employee > Personal tab > Notes).

How do I update myIR if I delete a submitted pay run?

How you handle this in myIR depends on the status of the submission.

So start by logging in to myIR and checking the status.

No, you'll need to delete the pay then record it again with different dates.
