This guide explains how to configure the payroll period for your organization. Setting your payroll schedule correctly is essential, because it defines the exact start and end dates the system uses to calculate work hours, overtime and absences for each pay cycle. These settings apply automatically to all relevant attendance reports.
Step-by-step instructions
- From the main menu, open Company Profile.
- Find the Payroll Period section.
- Open the Payroll period schedule dropdown and choose Monthly, Twice a month, Weekly or Bi-weekly.
- For the Monthly and Twice a month options, configure the dates:
- Monthly: enter the end day (for example, 25 for 26th-25th periods).
- Twice a month: enter the First pay period ends date (for example, 15) and the Second pay period ends date (for example, 31).
- Scroll down and click Update.
Once saved, the system applies the new date structure to your attendance reports. When you run a report for the "Current Period" or "Previous Period", Timeclock 365 uses the dates you defined to calculate all totals accurately.
