Employer Check Object

The Zeal Employer Check represents a payroll run and is only created when checks are sent out (typically the day before a check date). It notably contains employee checks paid during this payroll run and a totals object that contains aggregate and sum values across the contained employee checks.

📘

IMPORTANT

An Employer Check Object is created purely based on timing--it could potentially encapsulate 2 employee checks that have different reporting periods, but the same check date.

See Employee Check Object.
