How to Alter a Previous Pay Period

When altering a previous pay period, you will want to ensure that the pay period has not already been filed to the IRD, as messing with the pay period if it has already been filed can cause issues within the IRD's Gateway Services, and can lead to the pay period being locked by the IRD, deleted, or duplicated in your MyIR. You can check the filing status by navigating over to "Report Centre", "IRD Filing", and then "Payday Filing Dashboard". If you are good to go, then please follow the instructions below.

Select "Process a Pay" then "Pay Period List".

If you want to alter a previous pay period you will need to make it the current one.

On the "Pay Period List" page, a tick will indicate which pay period is the current one. Tick the box under the "Current Period" column for the pay period you wish to alter

Return to the "Take Home Pay" page and select the pay run you wish to alter and un-approve the pays, then head to the "Time & Income" page to un-approve it and make the required changes.

Once you have completed the necessary alterations to the timesheet and re-approved the pay, we recommend you return to the "Pay Period List" page and tick the box under "Current Period" for the latest pay period.
