  4. Enter employee compensation, including any salary adjustments, vacation or sick hours, and other pay types.
  5. Confirm the pay period and check date.

    6. You can create unscheduled checks for the current pay period all the way back to pay periods dating 6 months ago. You can't create a check with a past date. The only check dates that are available are dates that fall after your last check date and before your next payday. We do this to keep your payroll taxes error-free.

  6. Click Preview Payroll, and then click Submit payroll.
  7. If you're creating a paper check, hand write or print the check and give it to the employee by the check date.
  8. Click Finish payroll.
