Pre-Payroll Register Check

Compare this period's check register against prior registers before you submit. The review flags pay, hours, rate, withholding and headcount changes, then builds a report you can save.

Getting the right file out of Paycom

Export the Check Register (or the payroll preview register) to Excel or CSV, one row per check. PDF registers can't be read; use the Excel export option instead.
Keep the same report layout each period. The tool finds columns such as EE Code, Employee Name, Department, Check Date, Check #, Rate, Reg Hours, OT Hours, Gross, Taxes, Deductions and Net Pay. If it misses one, open Columns on that file and pick it.
Employees are matched by EE Code when present, otherwise by name. Include the EE Code column so name changes don't show up as a new hire plus a missing employee.
Things this tool can't see from a register, and worth checking in Paycom before you submit: direct deposit account changes made since last payroll, address or W-4 changes, new pay codes, and manual or off-cycle checks.
