If this just happened recently then I would suggest the following solution.

Go into each affected employee profile and tick off 'Salary' as you will use that to correct everything.

Then go in and do create a new payroll cheque to each employee that was overpaid on vacation - use as chq nbr something like ADJ Chq (original chq nbr) and date it same as the original chq date.

Change the correct vacation pay as a negative amount to the Vac Pay This Period Amount, put the overpaid vac pay amount into the Income tab under Salary.

The net chq amount should show as nil since the "negative" vac pay taxes will offset the "positive" salary taxes.

Your Vac payable should now show nil.

Hi Smith and Co,

I know this is over 4 years ago, but I'm interested in doing this. My employee was taking some vacation hours for some days he had off in the two week pay period, but also worked some days. So, he had 15 vacation hours and 60 hours worked. I had put in the total hours in the regular spot, PLUS put in the 15 hours in the vacation tab (and the net amount, instead of gross amount - didn't realize Sage calculated it all). Anyway, I will try the method above to 'fix' this, but now that he's overpaid, how do I adjust his next pay? I thought about perhaps taking $30 off each pay until it's paid back, but don't know how to do this either.

Thanks for any help!
