Interim reconciliation rejected due to earnings in the minus

SUGGESTED

Good afternoon

I am trying to process my interim IRP5's but it will let me.  A staff member absconded in the middle of March 2020.

According to our contracts if you do not give a months notice we can a months notice from your salary.  This resulted in his earnings being in the minus.  Hence the error message when trying to complete my run.

I cannot change his earnings surely as that would then make it incorrect?  Has anyone else had this problem and know how to get around this?

Regards

Bernadette
