1.        An employee was given a cheque $178.56... as an advance that will come off of his next paycheck. I minus deductions from $184.00 to find $178.56 and write a cheque out manually from our cheque book. Was I right to minus deductions on this advance? And how does one input this into Sage.

2.        Another employee was paid $3.00/hour less than he should have been.... So I re-did the deductions as if he was paid the full amount... and wrote an additional cheque in the amount of the difference. Was i right to do this and how does one input this into Sage.
Ie: Cheque #1 - $455.08 and Cheque #2 - $62.85 (the difference) for the same pay period and same employee just different cheque #s.
