Addressing these discrepancies promptly is essential to maintain employee trust and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Once payroll for Regular, Special, Final, and 13th-month runs has been paid out to employees, we do not permit unposting or editing. This policy is in place to avoid the risk of errors, including issues with past calculations that cannot be reversed.
This guide outlines steps on how to correct discrepancies from an Approved run.
Sample Scenario
The Pag ibig contribution set up in the Company Profile is fixed at 100 for Employee shares and 100 for Employer shares. Hence, the actual deduction for the month of February is 100 Employee shares and 100 Employer shares. However, based on Pag ibig memo, the should-be contribution effective February is 200 Employee shares and 200 Employer shares.
