Remittance adjustments after a correction

What this does

A paid remittance is never changed. If you reverse or correct a run in a period you already paid, the difference goes into an adjustment row in the agency's next remitting period.

What you see

• A row marked "adjustment to a paid period".
• If you owe more: "A reversal or correction changed the period {period}, which was already paid. {amount} more is owed and is carried into this period. The paid remittance is not changed."
• If you overpaid: "{amount} was overpaid; ask the agency to apply the credit or deduct it as it instructs. The paid remittance is not changed."

Steps

1. Correct or reverse the run. See Correct a pay run or Reverse a pay run.
2. Go to Remittances.
3. Open the next remitting period. The adjustment is included in its total.
4. Pay it with that period, and mark it paid.
5. If you overpaid, follow the agency's instructions. Record any credit in Liability history as an adjustment. See Liability history.

Good to know

• Adjustments can be positive or negative.
• A period that is not yet paid simply changes its amount.
• You can also add your own adjustment for an assessment or interest in Liability history.
• If a correction would take CPP or EI past the annual maximum, the correction is capped, and the review shows a warning.
