Verify the amount entered matches your banking records. It cannot be changed once the payroll run is complete.

Set Payment Type to Cheque. This indicates that payment for this back pay has been / will be arranged outside of normal electronic banking payments.

Normally back pay is an additional payment on top of an employee's normal payment for a given pay period in the past, however back pay may sometimes represent the entirety of an employee's pay for a given pay period in the past (ie. the employee was not paid at all for a given period). Depending on the circumstances of the back pay, you will need to review the standard allowances / deductions and tax calculations for this payment. If the back pay only represents a partial missed payment then standard allowances and deductions should be removed from this payment (as they will have already been applied to the employee's original payment for that period) and a Make type tax adjustment of $0.00 should be set as below.

If the back pay represents a payment missed entirely for a given pay period then standard allowances, deductions and tax calculations should apply.

Select the Save option in the toolbar.
