Revert a Payroll

Reverting a payroll undoes a pay run and all of the changes it made. Use it only when you need to completely redo a pay run — for most over- or under-payments you can make a correction in the next pay run instead.

IMPORTANT

Reverting a payroll is irreversible. It cannot be recovered once done.

Revert a Payroll​

To revert a payroll, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your "Workmax" account with an admin account.
  2. Go to the "Payroll" section and open the pay run you want to revert.
  3. Start the "Revert payroll" flow for the payment date.
  4. Confirm your decision. Workmax lists everything that will be reverted:
    • Payroll
    • Timesheets
    • Expenses
    • Benefits
    • Time off requests
    • Year-to-date earnings, deductions and contributions
  5. In the "Confirm" field, type the word REVERT.
  6. Tick the checkbox to acknowledge that this action is irreversible.
  7. Click on the "Revert payroll" button.

Workmax will revert the pay run, clearing its payslips and pay items and resetting the year-to-date figures for the period. You can then run the payroll again. If you have any questions or need help, please contact Workmax Support.
