Resolution/Fix/Answer

To have the Basis of Pay field displayed on a check you will need to enter a value in the Employee Payroll Information screen for each employee. To do this:

Go to the Employee Payroll Information screen. Query the Employee that you want to add Basis of Pay to.
Navigate to the Pay Rate tab and select the Basis of Pay button at the bottom of the screen.
In the pop up enter what you would like displayed on the Employees check in the Basis of Pay field.
1. Note if this value is null Penta will not display the Basis of Pay field.
Close the pop up to save the change to the Basis of Pay field. Any checks generated for this employee going forward will display the Basis of Pay field on the check.
