Overview
You can edit payroll entries directly from the Payroll page in Puzzle. Note that posting dates cannot be changed directly — moving an entry to a different date requires deleting and reposting it.

Editing a Payroll Entry
Go to the Payroll page in Puzzle
Click the three dots (⋯) on the far right of the entry you want to edit
Select Edit Payroll and make your changes
Changing a Posting Date
Posting dates cannot be edited directly. To move a payroll entry to a different date:
Delete the existing payroll run
Repost it using the correct withdrawal date and check date — this is the date that will be reflected in your financial statements
⚠️ Important: The reposted entry will not automatically relink to the corresponding bank transaction. However, this does not affect your financial statements — the correct amounts will still be reflected in the right periods.
Verifying the Change
Once reposted, you can confirm the update from the Dashboard:
Navigate to the Salaries row to see amounts reflected in the correct months
Drill down to view the breakdown — automated entries linked to individual payroll notes will appear alongside your manual replacement entry
The manual entry will show as unlinked, but your financials will remain accurate
