Incorrect pay

Leave not entered and pay has been processed

If you have paid the employee ordinary hours instead of annual leave, then you can add the leave entry to the next pay and reduce the ordinary hours by the amount of the leave hours. The system will let you enter the correct dates even if it is in the past.

If you didn't pay them any hours for that day, then you can do a manual pay to enter the leave taken and process it when you are ready.

Alternatively, you can email the Helpdesk helpdesk@smartly.co.nz and they can make an adjustment in the background for you.
