If the payment & return are both in the same month, I would post both to the Wages expense account.
Enter the payment as a Write Chq to the employee name - Do NOT use a tax code on it.
Then enter the return as a Make Deposit, from that same employee name, back to that same Wages expense account.
These transactions will then offset each other 😁

A question to you, Shaz. If this payment was reported to the ATO via STP would there not also be a need to delete the payment from the original lodgement and re-do it? John

@John Graetz Absolutely … but CuttingEdge stated an old employee happened to be paid "accidentally", so I took that to mean a Paycheque was never actually created (eg that they just EFT'd money to the wrong person) … in which case it wouldn't have been reported via STP in the first place 🤔
@CuttingEdge Can you please confirm that's the scenario ? If it was actually processed via payroll as a Paycheque, then my previous advice is incomplete as in that case yes, you would indeed need to also delete the inadvertent Paycheque !!!!
