How to reverse a direct deposit paycheque
Description
Cause
Resolution

The employee hasn’t received the funds via direct deposit yet

  1. Void the direct deposit paycheque, then create a new one with the correct amounts.
  2. Print and issue the new paycheque and cancel the process with the bank.

The employee received the funds and the direct deposit was adjusted

Post a negative paycheque with adjustments to vacation, CPP, taxes, and other fields as necessary.

 NOTE: This will affect the number of pay periods when reporting taxes and year-end. 

You can’t use the Paycheque module

  • Use a general journal entry to make the required adjustments. This requires unlinking accounts for taxes, vacation, income, and other payroll fields.
  • The Accountant Edition allows posting to linked accounts without unlinking them.

 NOTE: This will affect T4 slips at year-end. 

You can’t modify the Direct Deposit

Adjust the next paycheque submitted via direct deposit if both the employee and employer agree.
