The Cheque Writer Process produces pay cheques with attached statements of earnings (SOEs).

You must run the Archive Cheque Writer process when:

• You have selected "Multiple Assignment" for the payroll

• Multiple GREs are associated with an assignment

• You have set the Payroll Archiver Level to "Year to Date within Tax Group"

A preprinted form which will accommodate the standard print format of the cheques has been developed by Moore Canada. Customers in Canada can call Moore Canada at 1-888-621-1919 to place an order for the forms. The form number for the cheque is 10001. The Canadian French PAY patch is required in order to have cheques print in French.

   To run the Canadian Cheque Writer process:

1. Select Canadian Cheque Writer in the Name field.

2. Select the payroll or consolidation set of the pay processing for which to produce cheques and SOEs. If you select a payroll, its default consolidation set displays.

3. Enter the start and end dates of the time period for which to print the cheques and statements of earnings.

4. The system defaults Canadian Cheque as the payment type and Cheque as the payment method for all the payments resulting from this process run.

5. A default sort sequence of Organization, then Person, displays. To add more sort sequences, your MIS staff can modify the Cheque Writer process.

6. Select the cheque style: Chequewriter and Deposit Advice or, to make payments to third parties, the style Third Party Cheque Writer.

   • Chequewriter

   • Third Party Cheque Writer (to make payments to third parties)

     Note: The Canadian Cheque Writer process can only accept attachment reference numbers of 20 characters or less. In cases where the attachment number is greater than 20 characters, this process truncates the reference number to 20 characters.

   • Archive Cheque Writer (uses multi assignment processing information archived by the Payroll Archive process)

   Note: If you run the Prepayment process and do not run the Payroll Archive process, then Cheque Writer will produce blank cheques for the 'Archive Cheque Writer' style.

7. Enter the cheque number with which to start this cheque run.

8. If required, enter the cheque number with which to end this cheque run. This entry may be necessary when the supply of stationary is limited.

9. Choose OK, then Submit.
