How To Void A Paycheck in Patriot PAY (Payroll Software)
Updated video coming soon:
When you void a check, you will reverse the payment made to the employee, including earnings, deductions, contributions, and all taxes. You can void one check at a time.
You can find the check you want to void in one of two ways:
- Click on the PAY tab.
- Under the Payroll Reports section, click the report called "Payroll Register."
- Select the pay date range to find the check you want to void.
OR
- On the Home tab in the Employee List, click the name of the employee whose check you want to void.
- Click the "Paychecks" link.
- Select the pay date range to find the check you want to void.
Once you have found the check you want to void, proceed with the following steps:
- At the bottom of the check detail, click the "Void This Check" link.
- A confirmation screen showing the pay check detail will appear with a confirmation asking "Are You Sure You Want To Void This Check?" Click Confirm to void this check. Click Cancel to return to the payroll detail screen.
- In the Payroll Register and in Employee Check History, you will see that the check has been voided in red lettering at the top of the check, and the date the check was voided.
Voiding Direct Deposit Checks
Because the NACHA file (the file containing direct deposit information for your bank) is created the same time as your original payroll, you will need to contact your ACH processor (most likely your bank) for assistance with reversing the direct deposit on a voided check.
