Edit an employee's most recent paycheck

You can make changes to some types of paychecks.

In general, you can edit a paycheck if:

• It's the employee's most recently submitted paycheck.
• It hasn't been paid to the employee yet. (For direct deposits, this means the paycheck hasn't been transmitted to the employee's bank. For paper checks, this means the pay date hasn't passed.)

Which paychecks can't be edited?

You can't edit a submitted paycheck if:

• It's not the employee's most recent paycheck.
• It included an Intego workers' compensation payment that has already been transmitted.
• It has a Pay date before Jan 1, 2016.
• The employee's pay rate changed since the paycheck was first submitted. For example, if you submit a paycheck for an hourly employee and then change the employee to Salary or Commission only, you won't be able to edit the paycheck.

That's great! So, how do I edit the paycheck?

To edit an employee's most recent paycheck:

1. In the left navigation bar, click Employees.
2. Click the employee's name, and then click Paycheck list.
3. Click the Net Pay amount to see the Paycheck page.
4. At the bottom of the Paycheck page, click Edit.
5. Change an amount, the memo, or the check number. (You'll see boxes around the things you can change.)
6. Click the name of a section, such as Employee taxes, to see its contents.
7. Press Tab. If you changed an amount, other amounts on the paycheck change in response.
8. When you're done making changes, click OK.

I need to edit a paycheck, but I don't see the Edit button at the bottom of the screen. What do I do?
