We currently have employer OASDI amounts overstated and I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to adjust this.  We were zeroing out the employer OASDI on FFCRA paid leave runs and everything was working out fine.  However, our payroll clerk overlooked checking the figures on a regular payroll run and BW self-adjusted the amounts on that payroll.  I have gone in and unchecked the self-adjust box for OASDI, so this shouldn't happen again.  Any suggestions on the easiest way to correct those overstated employer OASDI figures for each of the 3 employees affected?

You may want to call support to discuss the best options for you at this point.  I would not recommend going into setup mode.  It only changes the totals and not what calculated on the actual check.  Tax reports use check detail - meaning how the check was posted.  And it is what calculated on the actual check - those are the numbers that will show up in any tax report, W2, etc...  General if a check was issue wrong you need to void it and reissue it correctly so your tax reports are correct.  If that is not an option, I would call support to see what would be the best option for your company.

Thanks.  Our original intention was to void and re-issue the checks, especially since the employee would see no difference so we can just do everything on the back end.  However, it has come to my attention this error happened on multiple payroll runs.  The runs for May can be handled this way, but I'm not sure about the one at the end of April since it was a direct deposit run that has already been cleared in reconciliation.  Guess we will have to contact support for more explicit instructions.  I definitely want to correct the actual calculated figures and not just the totals so that everything will be correct on our reports.
