You can see the Net Pay Amount calculated for a specific payroll check during Check Entry in the Totals Area.
If Check
Entry determines that the Net Pay Amount is a negative value, you will
see the following message.
If the negative amount is correct, click OK. The check will not print, however the amounts will be posted.
If the negative amount is incorrect, click Cancel. You can then make the corrections to the pay detail, standard deductions, or scheduled deductions.
The message does not appear when entering a Reverse Check.
You can see a list of employees with negative Net Pay on the Negative Net Pay List that runs with the Check Registers.
The Merge Payroll Checks process does not merge negative checks.
Matched Annuity amounts can affect Net Pay because the annuities affect the withholding amount calculations for Federal W/H, Regular FICA, Medicare FICA, State W/H, and Retirement.
