Use the Process Manual Checks window under Payroll Transactions to complete the data set for each manual check entered.
Using Process Manual Checks
Process Manual Checks does the following:
- Calculates the employer liability for all taxes assigned to the employee that entail an employer liability (such as social security, medicare, FUTA, and SUTA).
- 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 check. This procedure maintains the integrity of year-to-date records.
- Calculates the employer side of any employee deduction entered on the manual check that is associated with an employer contribution, such as a 401(k).
Process Manual Checks does not post the manual checks.
After Processing
After processing, you then post manual checks to update your employee records and, if you post to General Ledger, to create the suite of G/L transactions associated with the manual check.
In order to post, you use either:
- The Payroll Checks window (to print AND post the checks that have been selected as Print Check on the Manual Checks window), OR
- The Post Manual Checks window (to post the checks that have NOT been selected as Print Check on the Manual Checks window).
