The Hourly Check Creation dialog creates an unprinted payroll check record for all employees who have at least one hourly pay item and who match the current calculation profile (that is, if they appear in the drop-down list for the Employee field in the Payroll Check Entry window and have at least one hourly pay item).

Note: If an employee has any salary items, even if they also have hourly items, they are considered salary-only for the automatic creation of checks. This means that the employee will not show up in hourly check creation, but will be available in salaried check creation.

  • Hourly pay items have a wage type of Hourly. This setting can be edited in the Pay Item Properties dialog, which is accessible from the Earnings tab of the Employees window.
  • The hours for these checks are based on the hours recorded for the previous check record for each employee. If no prior check record is on file for an employee, no new check record will be created.
  • The checks will be added to the system in the order in which the hourly employees appear in the drop-down list for the Employee field in the Payroll Check Entry window.
  • When the Payroll Check Entry dialog is active, choose Hourly Check Creation from the Edit menu or from the F3 or right-click context menu.
