Check Entry - Advanced Features

Check Entry Advanced Features Tip: For more information, click the feature name.
Types of Checks
Bonus Checks	Describes how to integrate bonus checks into the regular Payroll Run, and how to create a separate run specifically for bonuses.
Manual Checks	Describes how to use manual paychecks when you need to override the automatic calculations for an employee's paycheck. This is useful when you need to force a specific net amount for a paycheck.
Multiple Checks	Describes how to enter more than one paycheck for an employee during a Payroll Run. This can be useful to ensure that Check Entry correctly calculates deduction amounts for prepaid vacation checks, retroactive pay raises, commission checks, severance pay, and bonuses.
Prepaid Checks	Describes how to use prepaid paychecks when you need to issue a paycheck before the normal Payroll Run. This may be useful to prepay vacation or to issue a check for severance pay.
Retroactive Pay Raise Checks	Describes how to enter retroactive pay raises (or any back-pay), where you can integrate the pay with an existing check or create a separate paycheck to reduce the tax withholding amount. This is useful when an employee's salary review is delayed.
Reverse Checks	Describes how to reverse checks to back out a paycheck that was posted in a previous Payroll Run. This method is useful for correcting checks that were printed and posted in error.
Other Advanced Features
Adding Other Pay Codes Dynamically	Describes how to add an Other Pay Code on-the-fly during Check Entry in the Pay Detail Area. The code becomes permanently assigned to the employee, just as if you maintained it during Employee Master Maintenance.
Department Distribution	Describes how to distribute pay to multiple departments either manually or automatically.
Holiday, Vacation, Sick Time	Describes how Payroll uses specific Other Pay Types to identify holiday, vacation, and sick pay.
Overtime	Describes how Check Entry uses the Overtime Time and Overtime Amount fields in the Pay Detail Area.
Permanent Pay	Describes how to use Permanent Payroll Check Entry as a labor-saving tool to enter permanent information for employees whose paychecks are usually the same for each pay period. This is often useful for salaried employees and hourly employees who regularly work the same number of hours each pay period.
Salaried Employees	See Permanent Pay above.
Shift Differential (Night Shift)	Describes how to handle shift differential pay, which is additional pay for non-standard work times, sometimes given as an incentive to recruit and reward employees who work during the night shift. Payroll uses a specific Other Pay Type to identify shift differential pay.
