# Checks

> Review and manage physical check items within a payment batch, including generate and void actions.

Checks (Check Batch Review) is available at route `/hr/payroll/payment-batches/:id/checks`, guarded by `hr.payment_checks.manage`.

## Overview

The Check Batch Review page (`CheckBatchReviewPage` / `CheckBatchReviewContent`) wraps its content in a `RequirePermission` for `hr.payment_checks.manage`. It loads the parent batch detail and the list of checks for the batch. A `GenerateChecksToolbar` component provides generation actions. Checks are displayed in a data table with check number, employee name, amount, status badge (`pending`, `generated`, `sent_to_vendor`, `printed`, `voided`), and a void action gated by `PermissionGate`. Skeleton rows (1-5) are shown during loading.

## Who it's for
