Understanding Voids

Updated today

A void is used to reverse a payroll payment when an error occurs or if payment should not have been made. Voids are typically applied to payrolls processed within the current quarter and help correct issues without requiring an amendment.
​


When to Use a Void

Voids can be used in cases such as:

  • Overpayment or underpayment of an employee

  • Incorrect tax withholding

  • Payments made to the wrong employee or account

  • Duplicate payroll entries

  • Other informational corrections within the same quarter
    ​

If the payroll error occurred in a previous quarter, an amendment may be required instead.
