Hello, I am new to PowerChurch, and I am in need of some assistance!
When my payroll information was set up before I started, they failed to include payroll items for the employer part of Social Security and Medicare. I only discovered this when I ran the 941 report. The payroll has been posted in the 941 module and not in fund accounting (I don't know if that makes a difference or not). Anyway, can I simply run payroll for me and just include those two items or do I need to void the checks and reissue manual checks? I am just not really sure how to fix this for the two paychecks last month. (I know how to correct it going forward).
Thank you in advance for the assistance.

Re: Payroll Mistake
Yes, that helps. Since the original checks are still unposted in fund accounting, can I just add the items to the original checks or would it be better to create a new entry altogether? Also, if I add them in fund accounting, will the information feed to the 941 report that I run through the payroll module? Thank you again.

My advice, post the old payroll to funds accounting.work4jesus wrote:Hello, I am new to PowerChurch, and I am in need of some assistance!

Then void the checks from last month, make sure you have the two employer pay items setup properly, then recreate the payroll checks using the same check numbers and let the system update itself. This way the system will properly create the entries for the 941 report, and in funds accounting.
Letting the system do the corrections is often much easier, and less likely to cause problems if you accidentally forget to do something. Plus it creates an audit trail showing exactly what happened and how it was corrected.

I gave it more thought ... see post above ... that fix will correct the 941 entries too.work4jesus wrote:Yes, that helps.
