Preview an employee check and its corresponding data including a breakdown of taxes and deductions withheld. In addition to the `companyID` and `employeeID`, Zeal requires a `reportingPeriodID` that describes the reporting period that this check belongs to.

See [here](https://docs.zeal.com/reference/reporting-period-object) for more information about Reporting Periods.

Creating a check also requires a [Shift Object](https://docs.zeal.com/reference/shift-object) that takes in an array of various earning components such as hourly shift data, overtime, reimbursement, or various other supported earning components.

## Returns   
Returns response status and a JSON breakdown of total as well as individual calculated employer & employee taxes, net/gross pay, and deductions for a specific check.
