Pay Frequency

On the Payroll Parameters form, select the pay frequencies on which employees will be filtered during payroll generation.

These are the valid pay frequencies for individual employees which is set up on the Employees form:

• Daily - The employee is paid daily.
• 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.

For example, you have some employees paid bi-weekly and others who are paid monthly. If the current two-week pay period will also include the monthly paychecks, select both the Monthly check box and the Bi-weekly check box. Otherwise, select just the Bi-weekly check box.

There are three sets of Pay Freq check boxes:

• Previous indicates information for the previous pay period.
• Current indicates information for the current pay period, which will be used to generate payroll.
• Next, which is optional, indicates information for the next pay period.

When you select Shift Pay Period from the Actions menu, the information in Current moves to Previous and the information in Next moves to Current.
