# How to correct an employee’s pay when paid the wrong pay items

KB144

### Overview

Sometimes an employee gets paid using the wrong Pay items e.g. you used ORD instead of OT1.5. Sometimes this results in a change in their pay, and sometimes it doesn’t (e.g. you just used the wrong type of leave).

In either case, if you have not yet issued pay slips and not transferred the money to the bank, then the easiest option is to un-apply the pay run and correct it. Otherwise, you should create an adjustment pay run.
