Payees in Fingercheck are agencies to whom an employer must send money for an employee who has debts. Typically, these debts come to an employer as a court notice and can come in many different formats, such as Child Support, Income Withholding, or Wage Garnishment. To establish direct deposit or generate a check, you must set up payee information in Fingercheck.

How to use payee information
You will need to connect the payee to the employee deduction by one of the following ways:
On the deduction code if the payee applies to all employees using that deduction.
On the employee's file if the payee and deduction applies to a specific employee.
To apply a payee to a deduction code, edit the Payee field deduction code. (Go to SETUP > Payroll > Deductions. For more information, see How to create Deduction Codes.)
To apply a payee for a specific employee's deduction:
Go to the EMPLOYEES tab.
Click the employee’s name to open their details.
Select Payroll > Deductions.
Click the Edit icon (pencil) for the deduction. (Or click Add to create a new deduction.)
Edit the Payee field.
Click Save.
