The employee was Overpaid:

**The above amount needs to recouped from the employee. Keep in mind that taxes have already been charged to the employee on the overpayment. Therefore, this should be a pre-tax deduction and lower all taxes since you are wanting to recoup (if you decide to deduct from the employees wages). You also have the option of adjusting their wages in the next payroll by lowering the gross amount; however, that is not recommended unless you have carefully documented your intentions to prove in an audit.**

The employee was Underpaid:

**The above amount is owed to the employee. This can be paid with a manual check now, run an off-cycle payroll to pay the employee through a direct deposit, or include the missed wages in the next payroll run.**

Type notes below. This can serve as a record for how you wish to proceed with the adjustment.

**The above number is an estimation and should only be used as a reference point. Questions regarding the amounts you are paid, deducted, or taxed should all be brought to your employer for further clarification. Workforce 2080 provides these estimations to assist employees and employers determine a rough estimation of what taxes, payments, or deductions could be. These estimations should not be construed as implict or explicit guarantees in any way. Many factors come into play, such as rounding of figures in Payroll Software, errors in the submission through this portal etc. Workforce 2080 assumes no risk with these estimations and provides these tools to help educate the general population. All users who use these products and estimators outside of their intended use assume risk when used outside of the scope of educational and general knowledge.
