Editing the YTD CPP and EI Contributions AFTER employee setup

Question

We recently hired new staff and they were set up and paid already - one has informed me she reached her YTD maximum CPP & EI contributions already at the company she worked with before she came here as verified by her final paystub from the former company. 
 How do I edit the YTD for this employee after I have already set her up? I know I can uncheck the calculate EI & CPP boxes to not calculate at all, however, the second employee has not reached the maximums but will before the 2020 year ends, so I hoped to edit the YTD amounts in the Payroll Ledger file for that employee. 
 
 Can anyone guide me? TIA!

 You don't. According to this page on the CRA website 
 Note

The annual maximum insurable earnings ($54,200 for 2020) apply to each job the employee holds with different employers (different business numbers). If an employee leaves one employer during the year to start work with another employer, the new employer also has to deduct EI premiums without taking into account what the previous employer paid. This is the case even if the employee has paid the maximum premium amount during the previous employment. 
 Their final T1 reporting to the CRA on their personal taxes will get them a refund if applicable. I only looked up EI but CPP is the same I believe.

 This should only be done under specific circumstances, not just in general for an regular employee that has not reached retirement age (CPP) or is not an owner (EI).
