There are three types of checks in the payroll system: printed (regular) checks, manual checks and void checks.
These programs are on the Check Writing menu.
Check Print, which is used to print checks which are generated from the Pre-Check Edit list program. When you are satisfied with the list and is ready to have checks printed, use the Check Print program. One check will print for each employee in the pay cycle and checks can only be printed for one pay cycle at a time.
Manual Check Entry, which is used to enter and record manual checks (written manually by you) paying an individual employee separately from a standard payroll run. Manual checks are usually entered after the check has been written. Specify the employee, pay cycle, earnings and deductions. The taxes can be calculated automatically.
System generated (printed) and manual checks will not be updated until the Check Register has been run and updated. Checks can be reprinted and manual checks can be deleted or corrected until the time when the register is updated. If the register is incorrect you can choose not to update it and can then print it again and update after corrections have been made.
Void Check Entry, which is used to void out printed or manual checks which have already been updated by the Check Register. Specify the check number, pay cycle, employee, etc. Void checks are not updated until the Check Register is updated at which point the earnings, taxes and deductions will be subtracted from the employees’ history files.
