Adjusting CPP at year end

I have a situation where my client issued more paycheques than the bi-monthly payroll and did not adjust for the CPP exemption.  As a result, the employee did not contribute sufficient CPP.  My question is how can this be adjusted before the T4s are prepared?

    Thanks for your question , found a resource for you. You can press F1 on your keyboard when in Sage 50 CA or go to Help > and type "t4 CPP adjustment" into the search bar.


    Steps for adding CPP:

    To add or modify an employee's T4 or RL-1 report information:

    1. Open the employee's record.
    2. On the T4 and RL-1 Reporting tab, you can make the following modifications:
      1. Enter or modify the employee's CPP or QPP pensionable earnings for the year.
        If you are entering data in the historical mode, enter this employee's previous pensionable earnings. If you leave this box blank, Sage 50 Accounting will not calculate pensionable earnings and will enter a zero value in Box 26 on T4s and leave Box G blank on RL-1s.

    Hope this helps!

    This solution only modifies the employee's YTD pensionable earnings and I need to increase her CPP contributions as she had extra pays during the year and the owner of the company did not adjust the CPP to exclude the annual exemption ($3500).  As a result, she contributed less than she should have.  A solution could be to change those additional pays so that I increase her CPP and decrease taxes deducted.  I'd rather not have to do this though.  Is there any other solution?  The owner is okay with paying for her CPP shortage.
