Tech Tip: Last Payroll Check Before Direct Deposit Is Fully Set Up

Q: We are currently setting up our payroll for direct deposit. If we need to run payroll before the direct deposit is fully functional, will we be able to print checks for the employees?

A: Yes, you can. If you have already activated employees for electronic payment, then you must mark the Use Check checkbox in the second Print Payroll Check function so AccountMate will print checks instead of generating an ACH file. If you have only entered the ACH information for employees and the bank but have not yet activated employees for electronic payment, then print checks the same way as before you entered ACH information.
