Hi,
I’ll need to pass this onto our payroll team. I’m not sure do you still have to pay Em PRSI when the employee is on leave. 
We’ll get back to you – around the EOB today.

Thanks Pete

    Very kind Pete. thanks

    Sure. You might be able to just do a zero payment, but USC etc all work a weird way. Better to ask the boss!

    Just so we are clear, the problem is that I put it through not realising it was putting it into March! Tax and everything will now be wrong. thanks Peter

    Ok so just give me more detail.
    You paid him for Jan, Feb, he was off for March, April then you went to pay him for May and it went into March?

    If you accidentally paid the employee for march, then you can delete that payment (go in to view the payslip, and click delete at the bottom). Delete all the wages that you did not mean to pay. Be careful if you've already done any P30 returns for any of these accidental wages - you'd need to submit a supplementary P30 to tell revenue to "undo" the incorrect payment.
    You can just enter the May date when paying the next wage. Bullet will warn you that there is a gap in the wages (since you're skipping 2 months), but you can just continue and save since this is what you want to do.

    Hi John
    I really appreciate your help. I tried what you said yesterday and again this morning. Bullet won’t allow me to change it. Also can’t let it like it is as the P30 already submitted would be wrong and of course the wrong payment date is showing on the payslip. The employee had a particular reason why he did not want any pay in those two months. Sorry for “messing up” in the first place!
    Please advise
    Kind Regards
    John

    Hi John,
    So it looks like you've already submitted your tax return for that period.
    As John said you'll have to resubmit an amended tax return for that period, and manually adjust your accounts.
    It's best to get your accountant to do that. Once done you'll be back on track.
    Thanks Pete

    Hi Pete
    The tax return I submitted is correct. It did not include this payment because it was never made and was only input yesterday.
    The only problem is that Bullet won’t allow me to correct it. This is not an Accounting problem. It is a software problem and I would be obliged if you would help me fix things.
    Kind regards
    John

    Hi John,
    So the P30 return you submitted was correct for that period, but now you want to add another payment that wasn't made for that period?
