  2. Select the employee.

  3. Select the check from the Previous Checks window.

To edit amounts (Earnings or Withholdings) on a live printed or ATF payroll check, you must delete the check and re-enter it to make the correction. To do this:

  1. Go to the check creation screen under Employees > Payroll > Live or Employees > Payroll > ATF.

  2. Select the employee.

  3. Select the check from the Previous Checks window.

  4. Press Delete.

  5. This process removes the check completely from DAS. Re-create the check with correct amounts.

    • For a Live payroll check, after re-creating the paycheck and saving, you can print it from Employees > Check Print.

    • For an ATF check, it is considered to be saved and printed after it is re-entered correctly.
