Pay Frequency

Select the pay frequency that determines how often an employee in this position is paid during the year.

These are the valid pay frequencies:

  • Daily - The employee is paid on a daily basis.
  • Weekly - The employee is paid once each week.
  • Bi-weekly - The employee is paid once every two weeks.
  • Semi-monthly - The employee is paid twice a month.
  • Monthly - The employee is paid once every month.
  • Quarterly - the employee is paid once every quarter.

The pay frequency is used to match an employee's gross pay to the tax tables that are established on an annual basis. The Payroll Parameters form identifies the periods per year for each pay frequency.
