A payroll correction should leave a clear trail

Keep the original and the correction understandable

StarGarden’s documented cheque-reversal process creates offsetting time and deduction entries for a selected cheque. The guide describes processing those entries through a designated reversal run, with the original payment and its offsetting entries available through employee payroll inquiries.

Review at each processing stage

The reversal guide includes an audit report, posting reports and pay-to-net results. It then describes closing the reversal to update employee history and year-to-date figures. Those checkpoints provide a way to examine the correction as it progresses, rather than relying on a changed total alone.

Make the history useful to the next person

A payroll team needs to explain a correction after the original operator has moved on to other work. Being able to inspect the original payment, the reversal and the resulting earnings and deductions gives the next person a better starting point for investigation.

Evaluate corrections as part of implementation

Ask StarGarden to demonstrate the correction scenarios your organisation encounters and the reports your team would use to verify them. The appropriate process depends on the payment, its processing stage and your configuration; implementation and support discussions should establish that route.

Capabilities depend on your version, modules and configuration. We will confirm the setup required for your implementation.
