Print Payroll Check Register

Even though check registers are always printed during check writing, they may be reprinted using Print Check Register from the Payroll Payments Menu. This method gives the option of printing monthly or quarterly payroll check registers if desired. Both computer generated checks and hand-written or voided checks posted through payroll posting will appear on the register.
