Hand Written Paychecks

I write paychecks by hand. How do I print pay stubs that show wages and deductions?

If you hand-write your paychecks, the process is only slightly different from printed paychecks.

Follow these steps to generate payroll and hand-writtein paychecks with Goldenseal payroll software for small business:

  1. Choose Write Payroll from the Bank menu.
  2. Check labor hours and deductions, then click the Write Payroll button to create paychecks.
  3. Enter a checking account to use for the payments, then click OK.
  4. Goldenseal will create Checking Transactions for the payroll items.
  5. Open the checking transactions, and hand-write checks for those amounts.

Follow these steps to print pay stubs:

  1. Choose Print Forms from the File menu.
  2. Enter Checking Transactions in the Transaction field, and enter Paycheck at Top in the Form Type field.
  3. Enter Unprinted Records in the Record Range field (or some other range if you want a different selection of checks).
  4. Click the Print button.
  5. You'll see a standard print dialog for your printer. Click Print.
  6. Goldenseal will print a one-page payroll breakdown that you can include with each hand-written paycheck.
