I am currently setting up and recording a client's complete last year books (going forward I will be doing their bookkeeping on a quarterly basis, hopefully eliminating these kinds of issues, but for now I'm just recording what's been done). He's been calculating his one employee's deductions in his own payroll program, then transferring the net amount electronically to his employee's bank account. The owner also pays himself every two weeks, again electronically transferring the money. I've entered all the payroll for the first month, and now going back to the remittances. He has been remitting by online banking payment, and does one payment for each paycheque - so for the first month he has four online payments to CRA for payroll (two paycheques x two paydays). He was also calculating remittances incorrectly (not adding in the employer portion of CPP/EI).
I can't see how I can record these partial remittances in the payroll remittance module? It seems to only provide one option of paying the entire amount currently showing as owing in the liability accounts. His payments will never match these amounts in this prior year since he wasn't adding in employer portion.
Any suggestion how to proceed would be much appreciated.
