Worker's DD won't go thru. how can i write him a check before the DD is reversed by his bank?

Hi there, amcLLC.

Since the paycheck was originally created as a Direct Deposit transaction, writing a check before the DD is reversed by the bank is not possible. You'll need to wait for the DD to be reversed first so you're able to void this DD paycheck. This way, you'll have the option to re-run the paycheck and change it to a Paper check. Please follow the steps below on how you can void or delete the created DD paycheck.

1. Go to the Payroll menu on the left panel and select the Employees section.
2. Under the Run payroll button, click on the Paycheck list link.
3. On the Paycheck page, go to the bottom of the page and select Delete/Void.
4. Mark the box for I understand that this action cannot be undone box.
5. Click the Void Paycheck or Delete Paycheck button.

For additional information, you can click this article: Delete or void pay checks. This also provides details about a quick reminder for tax calculations for voided or deleted checks.

Just in case you're unable to void the checks, I'd suggest communicating with our payroll expert to void the paycheck on your behalf.

Once done, you can now run the payroll again to create a paycheck as a paper check. Follow these steps:

1. Choose the Workers/Payroll tab. Then, select Employees.
2. Tap Run Payroll.
3. Pick the direct deposit icon next to the employee's name.
4. Elect Paper check.
5. Re-enter the payroll information and submit it. And don't forget to print or write the paper check and give it to the employee.

You can always run the Transaction List by Date to review the to voided paychecks in QBOP. Then, from the Transaction Type drop-down, choose  Check Type Void by the Memo field and hit Run report. For more information about the process, check out this article: How to create a report of voided checks.
