Use the Process Manual Cheques window under Payroll Transactions to complete the data set for each manual cheque entered.
Using Process Manual Cheques
Process Manual Cheques does the following:
- Calculates the employer liability for all taxes assigned to the employee that entail an employer liability (such as Canada Pension Plan and Employment Insurance).
- Processes tax withholding amounts according to the wage bases, maximums, and other delimiters assigned to the employee or to the tax, discards the results, and uses the amounts entered on the manual cheque. This procedure maintains the integrity of year-to-date records.
- Calculates the employer side of any employee deduction entered on the manual cheque that is associated with an employer contribution.
Process Manual Cheques does not post the manual cheques.
After Processing
After processing, you then post manual cheques to update your employee records and, if you post to General Ledger, to create the suite of G/L transactions associated with the manual cheque.
In order to post, you use either:
- The Payroll Cheques window (to print AND post the cheques that have been selected as Print Cheque on the Manual Cheques window), OR
- The Post Manual Cheques window (to post the cheques that have NOT been selected as Print Cheque on the Manual Cheques window).
