Employees and payroll

Thanks for keeping in touch with us here, @dave156.
 

The only way to reduce paycheck wages is to deduct the number of hours you overpaid to the next payroll run. Otherwise, you can follow the steps provided above by my colleague to create a miscellaneous deduction to change the gross wage amount using non-taxable deduction. I'd suggest reaching out to our Customer Care Team to help you with the tax adjustments. They can run a remote-viewing session to walk you through the steps. 

Here's how:

1. Click the (?) Help icon in the upper right-hand corner of the Dashboard.
2. Select Talk to a Human.
3. Enter a short description of your concern and press Enter.
4. Click I still need a human.
5. Select Contact Us to connect with our live support.
6. Choose Get a callback.
   

To ensure we address your concern, our representatives are available from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays and 6:00 AM - 3:00 PM on Saturdays, PST. For more information, check out our support hours and types.
