Shouldn’t be hard.

Check format, yes.  It’s not on this (development) machine - but I should actually change that anyhow.

As for scripts, I’d rather go through a pay cycle or two in order to find out what I don’t have right.  Last year I did it all with a spreadsheet, so I have a reasonably idea of the requirements.  But as it’s only been one cycle, and I had to tweak the results this time, I’d rather give it another cycle or two.   I could provide a sample QIF [the names of employees in the samples I’ve been working with are fake anyhow].

And of course there is the proviso that it only works for one type of business (agriculture) in Ontario, Canada [yes we have different rules than other small businesses], and would need modification for any other type of business or jurisdiction.  But there is an outline from which to work.
