Hello, miathleticclub.

 

There are several reasons why those checks won't show up in your register. I'll give some scenarios and solutions on how you can fix this. 

 

One likely reason is that your check register is filtered to show selected transactions. You'll want to change the filter options in the register. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Accounting, then click the Chart of Accounts tab.
  2. Find and select the check register by clicking the View register link.
  3. Click the Funnel icon, then change or review the filters.
  4. You can also check the DATE or Ref No. Type column to sort the transactions.

 

 

Another reason is that those direct deposit transactions might've been recorded under a different account. In this case, go to the Paycheck list then open a paycheck. Look at the Paid from section to see where the funds were taken out from. 

 

  1. Go to Payroll or Workers, then click the Employees tab.
  2. Click the Paycheck list link.
  3. Check the account under the Paid from section. 

 

 

If you need to correct and change the bank account, you can check this article for the steps: Change your payroll bank account.

Hi, I'm having the same issue.  The paid from is the checking, exactly where it should be.  The check register is not filtered strangely.  The paycheck is simply not recorded in my register even though it shows as paid in the payroll section.  I noticed this because I have a link to my bank account.  The paycheck wasn't showing a match, which it normally does.  Any other suggestions?

This is the 2nd time I’ve had this to happen.  It happened last month but after some time went by, the paychecks showed up in my check register when I logged in again.  It has just happened again but have yet to show up.  And I don’t have the check register filtered and the correct account/register is indicated when I view the paychecks.

Thanks for joining this thread, mjaymooreSF.
 

Since your register isn't filtered and you've confirmed you're viewing the appropriate account, I'd recommend getting in touch with our Customer Care team. They'll be able to pull up your account in a secure environment, conduct further research, and create an investigation ticket if necessary.
 

You can find their support hours and detailed steps for contacting them in CharleneMae_F's post.
 

I'll be here to help if there's any questions. Have a wonderful Thursday!

Had the same thing happen to an employee on 7/18/23 payroll. It's coming out of the correct account, is the correct date in the paycheck list and is yet nowhere to be found when I went to reconcile. It's not in the register either. Shows that it was deducted on my bank statement and the employee received the funds. Where is the fix for this???
