Defining semi-monthly pay periods

To define a semi-monthly pay period using pay group types (see Working with pay group types), you must specify these values:

• Specify 0 in the Duration in Days field.
• Specify 1,16 in the Days of Month (Start) field to define the day of the month when the pay period begins.

In this example, the resulting pay periods will run from the first to the fifteenth day of the month and from the sixteenth to the last day of the month, regardless of the length of the month.
