# How to Delete Processed Payroll in Sprout Payroll

 

There are times when you need to delete processed or posted payroll. For instance, you may need to change an employee's basic salary.

Before proceeding to delete the latest payroll, ensure that the employees' payroll has not yet been credited to their bank accounts, so there is no discrepancy with their posted payslips.

Here is the procedure to delete the latest payroll:

 

1\. Check the status (Processed/Approved).

2\. Select 'Unpost' from the dropdown.
