Attaché Payroll: Process an additional pay for the same dates as an existing processed pay

Updated over 3 months ago

In Attaché Payroll, you can process a pay for the same date range as an existing pay for one or more employees if:

  • The employee(s) did not get paid for work they did.

  • The employee(s) were missed in a processed pay run.

  • For any other reason.


Pay dates are set in the Check Pays process, and the same dates can be selected again if you need to make an extra payment. Follow the steps below:

  1. Go to Payroll, Transactions, Timesheets, Create or Modify.

  2. Select the Location and/or Employee Code.

  3. Select the Function: Add new pay - start with Standard pay.

  4. Enter a Pay Description i.e. 'payment for missed hours'.

  5. Tax period will be 1 if it is only one pay the amounts were missed on. Set to the required amount of tax periods accordingly.

  6. Tick Payment Required (to allow the creation of a pay advice), and Accrue Leave as required.

  7. Click Accept (F9) to access the timesheet entry screen.

  8. Remove any extra timesheet lines not required but keep employer contribution and bank lines.

  9. Enter the required hours that were missed.

  10. Add a Comment timesheet line to note a comment regarding the additional hours being paid.

  11. Manually calculate the tax difference between what the Total Gross payment should have been and what the employee previously got incorrectly short-paid and update this amount in the Tax field.

    📌Note: the calculation of tax WILL NOT take into account the earlier timesheet of the same dates.

  12. Click Finish (Esc) and confirm Yes to accept the pay.

  13. Check Pays using the original Pay Period Ending date, but the Date Paid would be the current date.

  14. Untick Auto Pays and just tick to include Timesheets and or Adjustments.

  15. Print reports, create Bank file for payment, Print Pay Advice, Archive and Process Pays as normal.
