If you need to edit a recently approved payroll that hasn’t yet been paid out, or you don’t use Wave’s direct deposit feature, you can delete the payroll, make the adjustments, and then approve it again.
If you have multiple approved payrolls after the pay period you need to edit, delete the payrolls starting from the most recent one. Then make edits to the required payroll, and re-approve them.
If you need to make adjustments to a past pay period, and the payroll has already been paid out, you can:
- Include any additional payments or deductions to the next payroll period. Learn how to assign a deduction, bonus or benefit.
- Pay your employee outside of Wave and reach out to Wave’s Support Team to make adjustments to the required pay period. To request an adjustment, open Mave, Wave’s automated chatbot, and type can’t delete past payroll. Mave will help collect any relevant details and direct you to the appropriate support. Learn how to open Mave in Get support with Wave.
