If a termination pay has been processed with the incorrect Termination Reason, you will need to create a second empty termination pay with the correct termination reason and process the second pay to correct it. Follow the steps below.
Go to Payroll, Transactions, Timesheets, Create or Modify.
Enter the Location and/or Employee Code of the terminated employee.
At the pop-up Confirmation - Terminated employee, Continue? window, click Yes.
In the Function drop-down box, select E = Add new pay - start with empty pay.
Enter a Pay Description.
Tick the Payment Required and Termination Pay checkboxes.
Click the Term Pay (F5).
Enter the Termination Date as the original termination pay date.
Enter the correct Termination Reason.
Click Accept (F9). This takes you into the timesheet entry screen.
Click Finish (Esc) without entering anything in the screen.
Confirm Yes if a message appears saying X hours under base hours, Continue?
Click Yes to the Confirmation - Accept this pay? window.
Click Close (Esc) to close the Add/Modify Timesheets screen.
Check the pay for the same dates as the original Pay Period Ending and Date Paid dates and process the pay as normal. See: The Payroll Process Pays Workflow if you are not familiar with this process.
A new Single Touch Payroll batch will be created. You will need to sign and submit this batch. See: Attaché Payroll: Manage and submit batches in Single Touch Payroll.
The end result will update the Termination Reason but will not impact the amounts entered into the previous termination pay.
