Non-standard payment schedules and periods

Non-standard payment schedules make it possible to use pay periods of varying length for semi-monthly and monthly pay frequencies. For example, a typical semi-monthly payment schedule ends on the 15th or last day of a month.

If these conditions are true, then pay periods must be manually defined:

  • Semi-monthly payment schedules are used
  • One or both of the pay period end dates are not on the same date every month.

To make corrections to a pay period that you have already created, you must delete it and re-create it with the correct dates. All pay periods and work periods must be deleted to change the first pay period start date or end date on the payment schedule. You can use a delete forward action to accomplish this. Pay periods and work periods cannot be deleted if they are associated with time records.
