Advance Deduct

Advance Deduct takes back a salary advance from an employee's pay — the other half of recording an advance.

When to use it​

Use it to recover money you paid early using Advance Paid. You can take it back all at once or over a few months.

How to add it​

  1. In the menu, go to Payroll → Payroll Items → Advance Deduct.
  2. Choose the employee.
  3. Enter the amount to deduct for the period.
  4. Click Save.

The amount is subtracted from the employee's pay when you run payroll.

warning

Make sure the total you deduct matches the total advance you paid — no more, no less. Deducting too much reduces take-home pay unfairly; too little leaves the advance unpaid.
