Reverse Sick Leave to show as WorkCover

I paid an employee sick leave, and it should have been Workcover

Updated over a month ago

In WageEasy, it is important to select the correct PPE in which the original (incorrect) payments were made, and process a supplementary payslip to adjust the items. The method used will depend on the items that were originally used for the period that is now to be paid as WorkCover. In this example, part of the payment was processed as normal hours and part was processed as sick leave.

  1. Change the PPE date, at the top of the screen, to the date of the PPE that you want to reverse, and go to File, Maintenance, Supplementary Payslip, Yes to the warning message, and select the employee.

  2. Clear the timesheet, if necessary, and click Next to go to the Adjustment screen.

  3. Select Leave on the left of the screen, then select Add at the top of the screen. Select Sick Leave from the drop-down menu. Process the dates as required to reverse the payments made on the original payslip using the original dates and enter a negative number of hours, and OK.

  4. Select Make-Up Pay and enter a negative number of hours, being the originally normal hours that were processed. These can be entered day by day or as a group with a negative number of hours, and OK.

  5. Select WorkCover and Add. Make a payment according to the original dates chosen, with the number of hours equivalent to the number of negative hours you have entered in steps 3 & 4.

  6. View the payslip to ensure that the Gross, Tax, and Net all have zero values. If there are any Allowance, Super or unexpected items appearing on the payslip, go Back to the Adjustments screen and delete the items.
