Payroll Type (Date Range) Setup

Payroll Type (Date Range) Setup

At the Payroll tab of the Company screen, the Payroll Type field determines the company's schedule to review and export payroll, at the Payroll Review screen. The options are Weekly, Monthly or Semi-Monthly (twice a month).

At the Payroll Review screen, users can Update and Export payroll data for the date range (cycle) determined by the Payroll Type. If a user attempts to Update or Export outside of the payroll cycle, the following message will appear. Simply click Yes, and the date range will automatically adjust to the selected payroll cycle.

A. Weekly: The user can Update and Export a weekly date range. The first day of the cycle is the Wk. Begins day, set at the Company> Payroll screen. Note: Multiple weeks can be selected.

B. Monthly: The user can Update and Export by a Monthly date range. Note: Multiple months can be selected.

C. Semi-Monthly: The user can Update and Export based on the date ranges set in Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 fields.

When a company implements a Semi-Monthly (Bi-Monthly) pay schedule, the payday falls on the same two days of each month. For example, if a company has two pay periods starting on the 1^st and the 16^th, employees will receive 24 paydays during the year (twice per month for 12 months).

For a semi-monthly pay schedule, set the begin date for Cycle 1, and Cycle 2.

Note: Multiple semi-monthly cycles can be selected.
