Select the pay statement, and then click Submit to reissue.

Void a check payment and reverse a pay statement
Sometimes you have to void a check. For example, if the payment journal was already posted, you might have to void a check that was printed for a worker who should not have been paid.
If the check or Automated Clearing House (ACH) file that contains the payment hasn’t been created, but the pay statement has been submitted or posted, you don’t have to void the payment, but you do have to reverse the pay statement. Click Payroll > Common > Pay statements > All pay statements. Then start this procedure at step 7.
If the pay statement hasn’t been submitted or posted, delete the pay statement instead of reversing it. For more information, see Work with pay statements.
To void a check and reverse the payment, follow these steps:
Click Cash and bank management > Common > Checks.
Select the check, and then click Payment reversal to open the Payment reversal form.
You can reverse only checks that have a payment status of Paid.
Complete the information in the Payment reversal form, and then click OK.
Click Cash and bank management > Journals > Check reversals. Select the journal that contains the reversal.
From the Post menu, select Post to unsettle the original payment journal record from the invoice and create an offset transaction that will be settled to the original payment. The invoice will have an outstanding amount that hasn’t been settled.
Notes
This process occurs automatically if the Use review process for payment reversals check box isn’t selected in the Cash and bank management parameters form.
Click Payroll > Common > Pay statements > Issued pay statements.
Select the pay statement, and then click Reverse.
Important
Arrearage amounts aren’t reversed when you reverse a pay statement. If arrearages were created or recovered on the pay statement that you reverse, you must manually adjust the worker’s arrearage balance in the Worker arrears form. If an arrearage was created, the amount of the arrearage is in the Arrears FactBox. To determine whether an arrearage was recovered, use the Worker arrears form.
Click Yes when you are prompted to continue. A new pay statement that has amounts that are the opposite of the amounts on the original pay statement is created, and a message displays the ID of the reversing pay statement.
A message bar appears on the original pay statement and indicates that the pay statement was reversed. A message bar also appears on the new pay statement to indicate that it was created to reverse a pay statement. In addition, the new pay statement displays the original pay statement ID and provides an option to open the reversed pay statement.
Click Payroll > Common > Pay statements > All pay statements.
If the original pay statement was submitted, select the new reversed pay statement that was created, and then click Submit for payment.
Notes
If the original pay statement was posted but not submitted, go to step 13.
Optional: Select the Post the selected pay statement check box.
Skip this step if the original pay statement wasn’t posted.
Click Submit. A new invoice with opposite values is created, posted, and settled with the original invoice.
A payment journal isn’t created.
If the original pay statement was posted but not submitted, select the new reversed pay statement that was created. On the Action Pane, on the Financials tab, click Post.
Don’t select the Submit for payment after posting check box. Click Post.
