Payroll check

I have just paid an employee via QuickBooks online payroll via CHECK.  Does Quickbooks send the check to the employee or do I have to create the check and send it?  Quickbooks is asking me for the check number so I got confused.  If I need to actually create and send the check, how should I do it?  Please help.

Thanks for checking in with us, CC2022. 

 

If you create a manual paycheck, we'll have to print your pay checks and handover them to your employees. However, if you process direct deposit checks, QuickBooks will send the funds directly to your employee's bank accounts. Then, your payroll must be processed and sent to Intuit prior to your paycheck date in order to guarantee your direct deposits process on time. See the Set up your company payroll for direct deposit article for more details about this one.

 

Here's how to create paycheck for your employees:

  1. Sign in to QuickBooks Online.
  2. Go to Payroll menu and select Employees.
  3. Go to Employees.
  4. Choose Run Payroll.
    • If you have more than one payroll schedule, select the schedule, then Continue.
    • Select the employees you'd like to pay.
    • Enter the hours and memos.
  5. Tap Preview payroll.
  6. Select Preview payroll details. For Submit to Intuit, choose this option:
    • Processes direct deposit checks
    • Allows manual checks to be printed
  7. Press Finish Payroll.
