9.2 Creating an Online Check (Check Simulation)

Purpose: Use this document as a reference for how to create an online check (for simulations only) in ctcLink.

Audience: Payroll Administrator.

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

  • ZZ Payroll Processing

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

ctcLink Payroll for North America enables you to calculate, view, and print a single employee check interactively online. 

To process single checks: first, verify that the system is configured for online check printing. Second, assign a pay run ID to the appropriate pay calendar—this is required to access the Create Online Check page. Third, enter data on the Create Online Check page. Fourth, view results of the calculation on the Review/Print Online Check page. You may then proceed in one of three ways: 

  • Confirm and print the check.
  • Click the Change Data button to return to the Create Online Check page to make changes.
  • Delete the check.

NOTE: This process will generate a live check payment. You MUST delete the online check that generates at the end of this process if you don’t want this to pay.
