Ways to pay your employees

You have the following choices:

Handwrite a check from your bank account:
1. Make the check payable to your employee for the net amount from their pay stub.
2. Give the check to your employee along with a copy of their pay stub, which shows all withholding amounts.
Print the paycheck and pay stub on preprinted check stock:
1. Use check stock that is compatible with QuickBooks or Microsoft Money.
2. Give the paycheck and pay stub to your employee.
Print the paycheck and pay stub on blank check stock:
- Blank check stock is less expensive than preprinted stock and is especially convenient if you print checks for more than one company.
Direct deposit to the employee's bank account:
1. If your employee chooses direct deposit, we'll electronically transfer the net amount from your bank account to your employee's bank account. Handwrite paychecks if your direct deposit is pending.
2. Give your employee a copy of their pay stub printed on plain paper. Setting up direct deposit takes about a week. (There's no extra charge for direct deposit.)
