The list may optionally include the following information for each unprinted check: pay rate, hours, net benefit accruals, company expense amounts, sales, units, periods, departmental detail, and (if you are a licensed user of the optional Payroll CS Direct Deposit module) ACH direct deposit information. To change the primary sort method to department, mark the Departmental report checkbox, click the Department selection tab, and select the departments to include in the report (the default selection is Print all departments).
