Overpayment of Salary Sacrifice to superannuation

Options

Can you advise how I fix an overpayment of Salary Sacrificed Superannuation.. I have to pay back to the employee approx $3,000. Incorrect information has been lodged with the ATO via Single touch payroll. Under the payroll item list the code cannot be changed to a positive amount. either. Any suggestions. Thanks

    * To correct the Payroll Liability:

    Use the “Adjust Payroll Liabilities” feature (under Employees dropdown Payroll Taxes & Liabilities) to reverse the Payroll Item out for the relevant pay period.


    * To correct STP (After adjusting the payroll liability as per above):

    Generate & Submit an STP Update Event for this.


    * To pay back the employee:

    Create a Write Chq (because you don’t want this showing/affecting payroll) in the employee’s name & post to the applicable Expense account (NO tax code!)
