Manual Checks

Details

When Payroll rules require an on-demand check or variation from the regular amounts or percentages of deductions, pre-tax commitments, or taxes for one employee, use the Manual Check function to set amounts manu

ally for a single payroll and payment form.

A payroll can be created specifically for one or more manual checks, or the pay group's next payroll can be used to record manual checks. A best practice is to use a special check code that is reserved for use with manual checks.

To view the gross-to-net for an employee with overrides for a manual check, click on the Manual Check button instead of the Gross-to-Net button.

Pre-conditions:  Navigate to the detailed Payroll Entry screen, for a payroll calendar that is un-posted and is not in gross-to-net status. Select an employee.

Manual Check Button

When It's Used

• An employee needs an on-demand check printed right away, such as a termination check.
• Amounts need to be adjusted for a deduction, a tax, or a net pay distribution. For instance, a manual check can be recorded to apply an adjustment to correct a medical deduction overpayment.
• A check was cut and paid from the corporate payroll checkbook or other non-payroll account and needs to be recorded.
