Paid from wrong Process Level

We were notified that 50 of our employees were paid from the wrong process level for 2 pay periods and trying to figure out the best way to fix them. Has anyone had to do this and what approach did you take - adjustments (yikes) or void and rerun new payment under correct PL?

We have had this happen in the past for us. It is not an easy task but adjustment need to be done. You will want to view the KB article 1195648

Assuming this process level must be tied to the wrong EIN (why you are asking to move the data over to the other one). One thing that might help is when you do the adjustments, you really only have to move data that would go on W2s. It's nice to have everything of course...but you can move Taxes, 401k/403b, Adoption Reimbursements, etc. -- whatever goes on the W2 in your state -- and you'll find the PR297 and PR298 will work fine.

Thank you! Is there a reason why you didn't void and run new payments under the new PL? I am not a payroll person so just not sure of the ramifications of doing it this way.

Deanna, I personally hate doing PR82 adjustments for something like this because there are too many things affected, and I always seem to miss something. If it were just a couple things that needed to be changed, PR82 is fine, but when I have something in the wrong process level or crossing process levels, it always seems to be cleaner and easier if I void and reissue. My payrolls process under 7 FEINs, some taxable and some 501c3 exempt, so I like to keep it really clean.

I would just reverse the entries from PRTIME on the next payroll, and on that same payroll enter the correct line using the right PL. There's no net effect to the employee and it's just swapping out the process level.
