Select a Pay Date	Click to select the pay date to run the payroll and click Retrieve. If more than one pay frequency is available for the pay date, select the pay frequency for which the payroll should be calculated. Only one pay frequency can be processed during a Run Payroll session. A payroll must be completely processed and posted before starting a new payroll.

The payroll information is populated.

❏ Complete the following fields:

Beginning Check Nbr	The system determines the beginning check number based on either the last check number used from the most recent pay date that has been posted or if paycheck forms are used for liability checks, then the last check number for the most recent check date in the liability check table. The system compares these two check numbers, and the greater of the two is used. It is the user's responsibility to verify the beginning check number. The system automatically fills the Beginning Check Nbr field with leading zeros when a partial check number is entered and you tab out of the field.
Payment Method	Click to select the payment method. Electronic Funds Transfer - Select if you are creating a file and sending deposits electronically to the bank. Checks will be printed for those employees without direct deposit. Direct Deposit - Select if you are sending a checklist and paper check to each bank. Checks Issue - Select to print a check for all employees.
Beginning Reference Nbr	The system determines the beginning reference number based on the last reference number used from the most recent pay date that has been posted. It is the user's responsibility to verify the beginning reference number. This field is not required when either Payment Method (Checks Issue) or Print Voided Checks is selected. This number is printed on direct deposit checks instead of a check number on the check register and is used for bank reconciliation purposes. The system automatically fills the Beginning Reference Nbr field with leading zeros when a partial reference number is entered and you tab out of the field.
Print Voided Checks	Select to print a voided check for each employee who receives a direct deposit or an electronic funds transfer.
Print Bank Checks	Select to print a paper check for each bank. This is for the Direct Deposit Payment Method only.
Sort Checks by Alpha or Campus	Click to select a sort method. The campus is the default. When Alpha is selected, the checks are sorted by employee last name, then employee first name. When Campus is selected, the checks are sorted by pay campus, employee last name, then employee first name.
Wage/Earning Statement	Click to select whether a wage/earnings statement should be printed. Y - Direct Deposit - Select to print wage and earning statements for direct deposit employees only. N - None - Select to not print wage and earning statements. A - All - Select to print wage and earning statements for all employees even if they are getting a printed payroll check. These reports are not automatically printed with payroll checks.
Wage/Earning Statement Line 1, 2, 3	These fields are used to type messages to employees. Each field can be a maximum of 35 characters. If the user has chosen to print the wage and earnings statement, the comments that are entered are saved after the user clicks Next.
