I'll help and provide clarifications regarding your paycheck concern, shs2009.
There are two ways to handle an employee's lost paycheck. You can reprint the original one if you prefer not to record the missing check number in your bookkeeping. However, if you want to account for it, follow the instructions provided by my colleague above.
With the latter option, you'll have to use the original check number, amount, and date to complete the process, as entering the current date will affect your payroll taxes. For detailed instructions, please see this article: Replace a lost or expired paycheck (QuickBooks Desktop Payroll section).
However, if the paycheck is issued more than 180 days, you'll have to manually write a regular check dated with the current date to enable your employee to cash it. After that, ensure to void it to keep your records accurate.
Furthermore, you can create a summary report to view your employees' totals and other payroll-related data. To guide you through the process, check out this article: Create a payroll summary report in QuickBooks.
