Enter Manual Check allows you to add a new manual check or edit an existing one.
This Section Includes:
The Person Search window comes up automatically. By default the search text for the Name field searches for last names and organizations. To search for first and last names enter your search in the "lastname, firstname" format. You can also search by City and State. Select the employee for which you are creating the manual check and click the Select button. Alternately, click the Close link to return to the previous page without selecting an employee.
NOTE: Search for just a first name by starting your search with a comma (e.g., ", James"). display a complete list of employees by searching for just a comma. Results default to Payroll, select All Applications from the drop-down list to view all names.
After selecting an Employee, enter the Check # and Check Date. Check the box if this manual check is for Third Party Sick Pay. This option is used when a non-cash compensation is required by a third-party payor such as a short-term disability payor. Selecting this option limits the compensations to only display non-cash compensations and disables the Federal and EIC withholdings. The amounts entered for Social Security or Medicare are included on the 941 Summary (line 7b) for Adjustment of Social Security or Medicare taxes. This correctly reduces the employer's liability for these amounts.
