Q: How do I enter an Additional Payroll Check?
A: An Additional Payroll Check may be included in the current open payroll run or be entered as it's own separate run.

Before an Additional Check is entered, the operator must determine if there is an "open payroll run" for it to process and post with. An "open payroll run" is defined as a payroll run where the checks have not yet been printed. When the checks are printed for the normal run, Additional Payroll Check(s) will be included and printed. Employee statistics will be updated and tax withholdings will calculate for each Additional Check that was entered and printed.

If your last payroll run has been posted, you must Set Payroll Dates in order to open a new payroll run for the additional check(s). You may leave this run open and use it for the next normal payroll run if you desire. If you decide to process the next payroll with the Additional Check payroll run number, you will follow the normal payroll processing steps for that payroll. When the calculate payroll withholdings is run, tax withholdings will calculate for the additional check(s). The additional check(s) will print, employee statistics will be updated and the checks will post with that run number.

To enter an Additional Check, from the Payroll Utilities Menu, you will select Additional Check Entry. The timelog entry screen will appear for you to enter the appropriate hours information for this check. When the timelog information is correct, you will save the record and a second screen will appear for you to enter the applicable deductions for this check based on the possible 20 deduction categories.

When the deductions have been completed, the timelog entry screen will return and you may continue with the next additional check or exit the program. If you will print the Additional Check(s) as its own run number, return to payroll processing and complete all steps from Calculate Payroll Withholdings through the Payroll Posting to ensure that employee statistics will be updated. If you will be entering the Additional Check(s) that will be included with a normal payroll run, you will enter the timelog records for the normal run and continue with the normal payroll processing steps.

The Additional Check(s) will be included and posted with the current run.
