Manual payroll checks for small business from Checkomatic are handwritten business payroll checks designed for employee pay cycles that don't run through accounting software. Three checks print per full-size page with perforated stubs for pay record keeping. Every page comes pre-punched for a 7-ring binder. No printer, no MICR toner, no software setup required. You write the check by hand, hand it to the employee, and the stub stays in the binder as your payroll log. Free black and white logo printing on every order. Eight color options.
What Are Business Payroll Checks and Who Uses the Manual Format?
Business payroll checks are checks issued to employees for their wages. The manual format is the right choice when your payroll operation doesn't run through accounting software or when you prefer to write employee pay checks by hand rather than print them through a payroll platform.
Small businesses with a handful of employees, contractors, household employers, small retail operations, and seasonal businesses that run short payroll cycles are the most consistent users of manual payroll checks. The format is also common among businesses that have tried payroll software and found the setup and ongoing subscription cost unnecessary for the number of employees they pay.
If you run payroll through QuickBooks, Sage, or a dedicated payroll platform and want to print checks through that software, browse the business checks on top format instead. That's the computer check format most payroll software defaults to. Manual payroll checks are for the employer who writes the check by hand and doesn't need or want a software intermediary in the process.
Making Payroll Checks: How the 3-on-Page Format Works
Making payroll checks with the 3-on-page manual format is a straightforward process. Three checks sit on each full-size page with perforated stubs attached. You fill in the employee's name, the pay amount, the pay period dates, and any deduction notes on the stub. You sign the check and tear it off. The stub stays in your binder as the payroll record for that pay period.
Pages come pre-punched with seven holes for a 7-ring binder. A 7 ring check binder is available separately and is specifically sized for the 3-on-page manual check format. Ordering both means your payroll check system arrives matched and ready. The binder holds your active pages and the stubs from completed pay cycles, keeping everything in sequence by date.
Checks are available in singles or duplicates. Duplicates create a carbonless copy of each check as you write it. That copy stays on the page after the check tears away, giving you a second payroll record without any extra documentation step.
Small Business Payroll Checks With Stubs: What's Pre-Printed and What You Fill In
Your company name, address, bank name, bank address, routing number, and account number are pre-printed on every check before the order ships. What you fill in at payroll time is the employee name, dollar amount, date, and any memo or period notation. The check number sequence is pre-printed and runs continuously through the book.
Free black and white logo printing is included on every payroll check order. Color logo printing is available for a small additional fee. Eight background color options are available across multiple texture styles. You can also request additional signature lines for businesses where a second authorized signer approves payroll checks.
