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.
