Paycheck Printing

Problem

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

This problem occurs only in Goldenseal payroll software version 3.01.

Caught By

User bug report.

Workaround

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

Solution

Goldenseal construction payroll software prints paychecks correctly in versions 3.1 and later.

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 also 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).
