Needing advise on how to treat the following transaction:

We have paid a non work related travel expense for an employee. She has asked us to reduce her Net Pay by the amount of owing. Should the employee reimbursement be entered into the payroll system as a non-work deduction?

    Hi @Penny_10069933

    So youโ€™re not reimbursing the employee then, the employee is paying you back ?

    In that case, yes, it will be a non-work (net) deduction ๐Ÿ˜
