Use the Payroll Check Entry window for recording after-the-fact payroll transactions. Enter payroll checks manually using information already stored in the employee records. The monthly, quarterly, and year-to-date amounts in each employee record are updated automatically when a check is accepted.

Choose Payroll Check Entry from the Tasks menu. If more than one payroll checkbook has been defined for this client, the application will prompt you to choose the checkbook you want to use so that the payroll journal entry will be made to the correct cash account.

Note: If fields on this dialog are disabled, you can enable a number of them from the Payroll Check Entry > Data Entry Options dialog.
