Prepare payroll data first
Before opening a check template, finalize employee names, payment amounts, dates, and supporting payroll records. A clean source list reduces correction work during the print run.
Use a consistent template
Choose a payroll-friendly layout and use the same approved bank account, payer information, and print settings throughout the run. Save employee payees when appropriate to reduce repeated data entry.
Separate review from printing
Review the batch before loading check stock. Confirm totals, check-number order, duplicates, and voided items. Print a small test when the printer, paper, or template has changed.
- Confirm employee and amount
- Review check-number sequence
- Reconcile the batch total
- Secure printed and unused stock
