Sage calculated negative employer pension deduction, why/how?

Question

Hey, 
 
 Hopefully someone here can help me as I cannot find an answer online. 
 
 In my July payroll, one staff members er pension has been calculated as a deduction of -&pound;539.15. 
 The employee pension is correct @ &pound;69.02. 
 
 Nest will not accept the negative value here for er pension, which is what brought the issue to light. 
 
 The staff member has been set up on a pension scheme since apr 2019, which is set to the correct ee 5% and er 3%. 
 She came off maternity in Jun. 
 
 I am hoping that if someone can help me understand why this happened then I can fix it. 
 
 Any clues?

I've pretty much figured it out. 
 I posted a minus salary value as I overpaid last month and the rest of the staff members pay was furlough. This minus salary seems to have posted as a salary sacrifice that has deducted in full against employers pension. 
 Some kind of weird and not so wonderful glitch that has resulted in me having to roll back, argh :(
