Step 2: Under Payroll, click ALL BATCHES

Step 3: Click into the ALL PROJECTS tab and in the Status column, filter by CHECKS READY:

Note: You may also filter by Project or Batch ID. Type into the column headers to filter.

 

Step 4: To begin printing a batch, click PRINT. 

Note: To view a preview of all the checks in a batch, click VIEW CHECK COPIES.

For clients who consolidate multiple payments to employees who receive live, printed checks, those will be printed from Consolidated Paychecks, rather than All Batches.

How to: Print Consolidated Paychecks

Step 1: While in the desktop check printing application, under Payroll, click Consolidated Paychecks

 

Click In Process to show consolidated paychecks that need printing, and use the Actions dropdown to print.

 

 

Note: Consolidated paychecks that are checks to be printed stay in the In Progress tab until they are printed, and then they move to the completed tab. If a multi-project company is used, the printer must navigate to a project within the company where paychecks are consolidated.

  1. Checks can only be printed ONCE. If you need checks enabled for reprinting, you will have to contact Support.
  2. Checks must be printed using MICR Toner. MICR Toner printer options may be found HERE
  3. Checks must be printed using GreenSlate payroll check stock
