Voiding a Readychex check

Readychex checks are drawn on the Paychex bank account to allow for the convenience of the single payroll reconciliation for the client.

Voiding a Readychex check is a two step procedure 1) Voiding the check in the Preview system 2) Contacting your CSR so that the check can be voided through the Paychex banking system

Important questions to ask to determine the best course of action  Were the wages issued in error?  Does the whole check need to be corrected or a portion?  Does the check need to be replaced?  Was the check rendered non-cashable?  Has the check been lost or stolen?

Determining the best course of action The circumstances surrounding the check will determine the best course of action.

Lost or stolen check: If the location of the check is unknown, a fee may be charged for stopping payment on the check. Un-cashable: If a check has been mutilated (torn, washed, etc.) but a portion of the check remains as proof of possession, a Readychex check can be voided without cost.

Has the employee been paid in the current quarter? Will the employee be paid again in the current quarter? Call your CSR if the answer to either question is NO.
