Checkeeper is a third-party service that prints and mails checks for you. While not fully integrated with Workstream, it’s the recommended option if you want to avoid handling printing and mailing yourself.
After running payroll, simply download both the CSV report and PDF checks from Workstream, upload them to Checkeeper, and they’ll take care of the rest.
Set up a Checkeeper account
You’ll need to create a Checkeeper account directly on their website. From there, you can upload your check files and let them handle printing and mailing.
No need to commit, you can review their setup first and see if it fits your workflow.
Download required check files
After running payroll, download both of these files:
Paper Check Report (CSV) – contains employee names, addresses, and payment info
Printable Checks (PDF) – contains formatted check + paystub
⚠️ You must upload both files to Checkeeper. If you only send the CSV, employees won’t receive their paystubs.
To download the file:
Go to Team View, then Payroll.
If you manage multiple tax entities, select Change and select the correct one.
Go to the Submitted tab.
Find the correct payroll run.
Select the three-dot menu ••• next to the relevant payroll run, then select the following:
Download paper check report
Print paper checks
Upload the files to Checkeeper
Once you've downloaded both the CSV and PDF files from Workstream:
Log in to your Checkeeper account.
Checkeeper will take care of the rest.
