Documentation For Voids

VOID : A void is used when you need to re-print a check that has been lost or damaged or if
there is a printing error.

Steps involved in voiding a check

1. Run a quick pay for an employee. It calculates the gross pay and net pay. It gives the
processing of an employee assignment a status of Error if it produces a negative or zero net
pay and produces the statement of earnings with zero net pay.
