3rd Party Checks
by: Anonymous in NC

The church should not make it a practice to ever "cash" a check for anyone (either a 2nd party or a 3rd party check)--that is a banking service.

All checks received by the church should be deposited into the appropriate church bank account. As with all checks that are accepted by a church for whatever reason and then deposited, the church runs the risk of accepting a "bad" check. For obvious reasons, it is extra hard for the church to collect on a returned check. Our church (as a general rule) makes it a policy to accept 2-party checks only and if it proves to be "bad", we make one phone call and then drop the matter. Hope this helps.

If you want to DIY your payroll, I highly recommend you look at using Gusto! It is very user friendly and their support is awesome! Plus they know how to set up and maintain payrolls for churches and nonprofit organizations.

Note: I am a "partner" of Gusto, but as I have told you before ... I never recommend anything that we or our clients have not tried and love =)
