How do I delete a wage adjustment?
Common reasons why you might need to delete one:
-
Data entry errors. The most common reason is a mistake during entry (wrong employee, wrong aount, wrong effective date, and so on). If the adjustment was inteded as a one-time correction but was entered incorrectly, deletion prevents it from being processed.
-
Duplicate adjustments. Sometimes the same adjustment may get entered twice (for example, when two people are working on the same payroll file). Deleting one ensures the employee doesn’t get overpaid.
-
Reversals vs. corrections. If an employee’s pay was already adjusted and later corrected by another transaction, the old adjustment may need to be deleted to avoid conflict. Deleting is cleaner than trying to “reverse” if the adjustment never should have existed in the first place.
-
Policy or approval issues. The adjustment may not have gone through the proper approval workflow. HR may delete it until the proper documentation is complete.
-
System clean-up. If the adjustment was entered in a “test” or “draft” payroll run, it might be deleted before finalizing. Ensures that payroll records reflect only approved, accurate entries.
Deleting wage adjustments should be done carefully. In many payroll systems, adjustments affect compliance, reporting, and audit trails. In some organizations, voiding or reversing instead of outright deleting, is recommended.
