paycheck issued in January for wrong amount and needs to be corrected along with CRA amounts

SOLVED

I work with Sage 50 Canadian Edition 2019.2

I have two paychecks that were posted in January with the wrong amounts.  CRA remittance was paid based on these wrong figures.  I need to correct in order to reconcile the account and do not know how to post the corrections.  I know how to "adjust" and/or "reverse" a paycheck through the payroll module, but it seems to create a duplicate entry and messes up the remittance figures. 

Can you please give me the correct and detailed steps for posting. 

Thanks.

    Hi jamcgrew:

    With a current paycheque or doing a correction for an employee who is owed money just put in the amounts to be corrected. Example: if you underpaid your employee add in the hours, if overpaid reduce the hours. CRA remittance amounts will be changed with any amounts added or subtracted. When you adjust or reverse Sage creates a reversing entry to clear the original entry and creates the new changed entry. If you made changes to the original CRA calculations by manually changing the amounts this creates some issues especially at calendar year end when T4's are created.

    Hope this answers your question! If not reply back!
