Manual Check Calculator allows the user to enter manual check calculator periods, which are future periods that can be processed through calculations. These periods are hidden from the main payroll runs. They allow you to calculate employee checks to determine gross to net and gross to burden values. These values can then be supplied to off-site locations.
NOTE: Manual Check Calculator checks are NOT processed with the information entered for the period associated with the main payroll run.
Create a Future Period to begin the process of paying employees during the off-cycle or terminating employees through the layoff checks process. Go to Payroll > [Frequency Period] > Input > Manual Check Calculator. Click Add.
Figure 1: Create Future Period
