Resolution/Fix/Answer

A salaried employee could receive their salary multiple times in a pay period if they have hours worked that were processed in more than one gross-to-net process for that same pay period. PENTA calculates and pays their employee their full salary amount as long as the employee has at least one hour included in each gross-to-net process.

In order to undo one of the duplicate salary payments, please follow these steps: 

  1. Void the payroll check/advice notice using one of the following windows:
    1. Void Checks
    2. Direct Deposits Void or Check With Net Pay = 0

  2. Contact your banking institution to place a stop payment on the check or reverse the direct deposit transaction.
