Check Printing from Voter Focus

Voter Focus can print worker pay checks directly to a printer. After a batch of checks is printed, you are directed to assign check numbers to each payment so that information on the check payments can be stored in the database. This information is available to you on an up-to-date check register, which can be requested from Voter Focus at any time.

If a check does not print properly, or the worker requests a replacement for a check that has been lost, you can schedule a replacement check and, if appropriate, print a replacement check.

Most payroll checks are for working an election or pay associated with training for election work. For payments that do not fall under either category, Voter Focus lets you print miscellaneous payments that are not tied to an election or training class. Miscellaneous payments are intended primarily for cases where training classes take place far in advance of the election, when you want to make payments without waiting for an election to occur, but you can use miscellaneous payments for other reasons too. Miscellaneous checks can also be voided and replaced.

The physical layout of your checks is managed by going to PRINTING > Document Maintenance and selecting the document called PW Check.
