Paycheck Printing

PROBLEM

Printing paychecks gives a series of error messages about missing fields.

This problem occurs only in Goldenseal version 3.01.

Caught By

User.

Workaround

You can print regular checks, and then print a pay stub from the Payroll Record.

Solution

Fixed in version 3.1.

Technical Details

Caused by ID number changes in version 3.01. Dang, we forgot to move some resources to the new ID location, so it didn't know about the fields that show total wages, payroll deductions, employer taxes etc.

While we were fixing this bug, we made a couple of small improvements to paycheck printing. It will now pick up withholding information from a regular pay period, even if it is mixed in with miscellaneous payroll items like employee reimbursements.

It also won't give error messages if you are printing a paycheck that contains no payroll records (that's an earlier bug that nobody has probably ever experienced, but if you want to print a $0 paycheck, now you can).
