This article will walk you through how to create a manual paycheck in Traction after running your payroll in Paylocity.
The first scenario would be the need to cut an employee a check right now
- You can use Paylocity's Check Calculator to determine the Net Wages for the employee and have the payroll processed with the next payroll batch.
- Once you have the Net Wages, in the Account Register, you can set up a check to that employee. Fill out the payment transaction for that check with as much detail as needed. Choose to Print the check, and you can provide the check to the employee.
3. Once the payroll has been processed and comes into the Payroll Queue in Traction, you will set the payment method for the employee to Check Calculator/ User Checks.
4. When you import the transaction to the Account Register, you should get the matching dialog. Check the record that matches, and then choose Match.
5. In the Account Register you will note that the Paycheck has now been updated with the pay period information and the Employee Taxes.
The other scenario is running your usual payroll, but you still need to print a manual check for an employee from the batch.
- Set up the manual check in the payroll batch and process it per Paylocity's instructions.
- When the payroll transaction comes into the Payroll Queue, you will again designate the Check Calculator/ User Checks in the How Paid column for the employee needing the manual paycheck. This separates this employee's pay from the group and separates it for the Account Register. See screenshot below, with a single paycheck at the top and the 2 transactions for the direct deposits and taxes below.
3. Click on the employee's payroll transaction, and once it opens, select Print Check in the box to the right.
