Refreshing payroll check information

Show expandable text

You can refresh payroll check information for unprinted payroll checks and for handwritten payroll checks that have not yet had any liabilities generated. This will update all employee information that may have changed since the payroll check was entered and recalculate the check accordingly.

Note: Refreshed checks will include any non-standard hours and/or override amounts that were entered on the original check as long as all of the following conditions apply.

  • The payroll item is still active for that employee.
  • The location/department/percent combinations must still be the same for employees set up to enable auto-pay distributions based on percentages.
  • No location/department combinations have been removed for the employee.

Enter Batch Handwritten Payroll Checks screen

To recall (unsuspend) a batch at a later time, select the appropriate client from the drop-down list at the top-right corner of the Actions > Enter Batch Handwritten Payroll Checks screen, and then choose the suspended payroll date from the Payroll schedule drop-down list.

When you recall a suspended batch, a prompt displays, asking if you are sure you want to refresh the checks included in the current batch.

  • Click Yes to recall the batch and recalculate the payroll checks using all of the latest information for the employee, including any changes to payroll items, accruable benefit items, tax exemptions, work locations, GL accounts, etc.
  • Click No to recall the batch without refreshing the payroll check information. The checks will contain the information that was saved on the checks when the batch was suspended.
  • Click Cancel to return to the Actions > Enter Batch Handwritten Payroll Checks screen without recalling the suspended batch. This provides you with an opportunity to determine what has changed for those employees.
