Back Pay

Question

I need to back pay an employee. He worked on a job where his pay was not correct. All I need is to put the lump sum amount in the correct pay weeks in November and December last year for the certified report. So they can see he did get paid the correct amount. I am going to run a check for each week so I can use the right Pay Period End Date, the checks will be dated tomorrow, because we are just now paying the wages. I tried to enter it and the back pay does not show up on the certified Report. Any ideas? 
 
 Thanks

Hello Denise, 
 For a check to appear on the Certified Payroll report, you must enter the time daily, to generate the Daily Distribution Report that is used for the standard Certified Payroll report provided with the system. 
 Also, if you are in the United States, you most likely have the payroll setting for "Accounting Date" equal to the "Check Date." As you stated, you plan to print the check tomorrow. Payroll checks must have a status of "Printed" to post. If you print the check tomorrow, the check will post to 2022 General Ledger and the earnings will accumulate as 2022 QTD/YTD earnings. 
 You may need to consult your Sage Certified Consultant for more specific help.
