| Payroll Year | The payroll year you enter appears on checks and reports and limits the check dates you can enter. CheckMark Payroll works with one year of data at a time. The current year is automatically entered based on the year the database is in.
To modify the year, you must create a new database to change it to an earlier year. However, you can advance it to the next year with the New Year command. For details, see “Starting a New Year.” |
| Comments | The Comments field allows you to type text to keep track of items like dates and addresses for filing or other pertinent information that might relate to your company. |
| Company Activity Log | Click the Company Activity Log button.
This screen displays a list of all activities performed in the payroll software. You can filter those activities by Type, Employee and Warnings. This helps give an idea of the daily, weekly, monthly, etc. transactions that are entered, modified or deleted. |
