Core - Payroll Wizard

What is the Payroll Wizard?

The payroll wizard finalizes paycheck amounts for you by adding up total amounts and factoring in taxes and any adjustments. These final amounts are printing onto check stubs and saved on the employee's record. Core is not currently able to print live checks so amounts will need to be written on checks and sent with the paycheck stub through your normal company processes. 

In order to take transactions into the Payroll Wizard, you will need to have entered time and completed proofing first. 

At the top you will see the number of Unpaid W2 Transactions. This is the number of transactions that have had time entered and proofed but not yet completed payroll. This means that for those employees have not yet been paid.

   • This will open the payroll wizard
2. Select 'Create a new payroll run'
