How to pay an employee by paper check for a one-off payroll
Question
How do I change an employee to receive a paper check instead of direct deposit for a specific payroll run in 7shifts Payroll?
Answer
If you need to pay an employee by paper check for a single payroll run, you can adjust their payment method directly within the payroll draft without changing their permanent profile settings. This applies to both regular and off-cycle payroll runs.
What to do
- In the 7shifts web app, go to Payroll > Run Payroll (or Run Off-Cycle Payroll).
- Locate the specific employee in the payroll draft.
- Select the employee’s payment method (e.g., Direct Deposit).
- Toggle the payment option to Paper Check:
Note: To permanently change an employee's default payment method for all future runs, you must update their banking details within their employee profile.
