Upon receipt of the voucher packet, the cash disbursements function prepares a single
check for the entire amount of the payroll and deposits it in the payroll imprest account.
The employee paychecks are drawn on this account, which is used only for payroll.
Funds must be transferred from the general cash account to this imprest account before
the paychecks can be cashed. The clerk sends a copy of the check along with the disbursement
voucher and the payroll register to the AP department, where they are filed
(not shown). Finally, a journal voucher is prepared and sent to the general ledger function.
