Create Your Pay Schedule
First, choose your pay frequency. Be sure to confirm that your pay schedule is compliant in your state. See below for a description of the pay frequency options.
Weekly | Employees are paid on the same day each week, such as every Friday. |
Every other week (bi-weekly) | Employees are paid every other week on a specific day, commonly every other Friday. |
Twice a month (semi-monthly) | Employees receive their wages on two specific dates each month, typically on the 15th and the 30th. |
Monthly | Employees receive their wages on a specific date each month. This is uncommon and may not be compliant with labor laws in some states. |
? Hourly employees should never be paid on a semi-monthly or monthly pay schedule, as it will result in incorrect overtime calculations.Next, you will choose your first payday and your first-period end date. The payday must be at least five days after the period end date. It is common to have a one-week delay between the period end date and the payday. For example, if your period ends on Friday, your employees will receive pay the following Friday.
If you selected a semi-monthly (twice a month) pay schedule, you must also designate your second payday. Typically, this will be 15-16 days after your first payday.
Payment History
If you've made payments throughout the year, you'll need to input the payment history to maintain an annual record.
