Error: Employee has multiple checks in current period

Issue

An employee has multiple checks in the current pay period.

 

Explanation

Usually, an employee has one check in a pay period. However, an employee may have more than one check in a pay period, for example, to pay a bonus, reimburse an amount, and so on. An employee who has multiple checks in a pay period, may have a check that isn't theirs. 

 

Solution

To fix this issue, follow these steps. 


Does the check belong to the employee?

  • Yes, the check was created from the employee. Great! The check is supposed to be there. 

  • No, the check shouldn't be there. Go to the next question. 


Was a check number assigned to the check? 

  • Yes, a check number was assigned. You should reset the check for reprint (Employees > Payroll Checks), and then delete the check (Employees > Enter Payroll Checks). 

  • No, a check number was not assigned. If the check number is 0 (zero), use Enter Payroll Checks to delete the check.
