If you need to change an employee’s pay (for example, if it was entered incorrectly), you something in a recorded pay, you'll need to delete the payroll transaction for that employeepay then re-enter it. This will delete both the payment and the pay slip. You can then do another pay run, using the correct details.

Delete a pay for a single employee

payslip, and remove the pay from all payroll reports.

You can delete one employee pay at a time, so you can repeat the process to delete all employee pays in a pay run.

To delete reconciled or matched payroll transactions

If the payroll transaction you’re deleting has already been reconciled or matched to a bank transaction, a message is displayed

on the Payroll Transaction screen,

informing you that the transaction has been reconciled.

If the payroll transaction you’re deleting has been manually reconciled or matched to a bank transaction, deleting it can affect your future bank reconciliations. See Reconcile transactions.
If the payroll transaction you’re deleting is one of several transactions that have been matched to a single bank transaction (for example, if you used a single bank transaction to take out money to pay several employees), you’ll need to unmatch this transaction before you can delete it. See Matching bank transactions.
If the payroll transaction you’re deleting has been automatically reconciled,

you won’t be able to delete it. You'll need to unreconcile it first. See Undoing a bank reconciliation.

deleting it will remove the match and may affect your bank reconciliation. After deleting the payroll transaction it will reappear on your Bank transactions window where you can allocate or match it.
