Our church pays salaries via check automatically sent by the bank (bill payment). It's not direct deposit, not manual check, and not printed check. How should this be setup in PCPlus?

I'm assuming that you do the payroll calculations, and then enter the amount online to your bank ??

I would think you would setup payroll as normal, let it do all the calculations, then when you process the payroll, you have the option of using Manual Check, direct deposit, or computer generated in the list of employees that appears prior to print.

Now, if you know the check number that the bank uses, you can enter that as a 'manual check' check number, if not, you can create a series of numbers you can use for payroll and then just print payroll stubs at the end of the payroll processing. I'm fairly sure that the check number entry for manual check can be a mix of alpha and numeric characters (I don't have my test machine handy at this location), but you could probably use a number series like PR0001 and then just increase it from there.

In either case, when you go to finish processing payroll, you will have the opportunity to 'print checks' or just to print stubs. I believe if you use manual check the only option you get is payroll stub print. This you can give to the employee so they have the breakdown of all deductions and so on.
