When updating the payroll check register, the software should respect the setting in Paperless Office that we are not sending check stubs and should not try to connect to the server at all. Instead, it goes through the motions of "sending" by showing the e-mail information even though it does not actually start the e-mail process.

Comments

  • Any issue with the server prevents update of the check register, consequently preventing creation and submission of direct deposit file. The email issue can be resolved or the stubs printed later from Paperless Office. The inability to proceed with paying employees is a serious problem for (particularly large) employers who are leveraging direct deposit and paperless office.

  • Taking this one step further, allow the updating of the payroll check register and the direct deposit voucher register. Then schedule the e-mailing of direct deposit vouchers to occur on pay date instead of the date payroll is processed.
